NHL Insider Shockingly Linked Boston Bruins Top Defenseman To Central Division Stanley Cup Contender

According to David Pagnotta, The Winnipeg Jets have been showing a bunch of interest in Brandon Carlo.

Carlo has been with the Boston Bruins organization since he was drafted by them in the second round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft 37th overall. Recently though his name has been surfacing in a lot of trade rumours.

Since being drafted by the Boston Bruins, Carlo has appeared in 615 NHL games with the organization and has scored 29 goals, along with 109 points.

This season Carlo has appeared in 61 games for the Boston Bruins having a goal and 8 assists for nine points.

It's obvious that the Boston Bruins have not had a good year. Recently the organization has had to watch Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci hang up the skates, and most of their core is also starting to age.

With how competitive the Bruins have been over the years, they don't have a deep prospect pool, and now the Bruins are going to have to get creative to bring some draft capital and younger players into the organization.

An easy way the Bruins could do this is by trading away one of their better defenseman in Brandon Carlo.

Multiple other contending Canadian teams have been showing interest in Brandon Carlo as well including the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers as they are both trying to bolster their blue lines.

Adding someone that's 6'5", and 220LBS would definitely give their back ends a big boost.

The Winnipeg Jets already have some big defenseman on their blue line, and Carlo would just add to that if he ends up there.

This is definitely something to keep an eye on as the NHL Trade deadline is just 3 days away.
