One area the Boston Bruins need to upgrade this off-season, and heading into the 2025-26 season is their right side on defense.
At the NHL trade deadline, General Manager Don Sweeney decided to send a bunch of his players off to new teams, and kick off a retool.
One of the players that got traded was defenseman Brandon Carlo.
The Bruins traded Carlo to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and in return got Fraser Minten, along with a first-round pick.
Now before entering the upcoming season, Don Sweeney is going to have to replace Carlo.
Bruins linked to Calgary Flames defenseman
With the need to replace Carlo on the right side, Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson has become a solid candidate.
According to RG Media, the Boston Bruins have surfaced as a team that could try and acquire him via a trade.
The other teams that are linked to Andersson are the Blue Jackets, Red Wings, and Canadiens.
«The Flames are definitely listening and exploring their options,» the source said. «I'm hearing the Blue Jackets, Red Wings, Canadiens, and Bruins have all looked into Andersson.»
There have been rumors surrounding Andersson wanting out of Calgary ever since the season came to an end.
Rasmus Andersson's name is getting bounced around a lot in the last few days on the trade market.
Sources indicate the Bruins, Habs, Sens and Blue Jackets have expressed interest in the top-4 RD.

The Bruins would have a solid one-two punch on the right side, with Charlie McAvoy, and then Rasmus Andersson.
If the Bruins are serious about wanting to be competitive next year, acquiring someone like Andersson makes a lot of sense for them.
