Requested trade: Massive 1-for-1 trade proposal sees the Boston Bruins acquiring a former first-round pick

In the off-season, Don Sweeney added a couple of impact players like Tanner Jeannot, and Viktor Arvidsson, but are remaining active ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Their biggest issue last year was the fact they struggled to score goals. They only had three 20+ goal scorers on their roster last year, one of them being former captain Brad Marchand before he was traded to the Florida Panthers.

Coming into the off-season, it was believed that the Boston Bruins were going to add some scoring depth, but they have yet to do so.

There is a chance that they look to the trade market to acquire a player that could provide them with depth scoring, and Heavy.com has proposed a 1-for-1 trade involving a player that has requested a trade.

Heavy.com has proposed the idea that the Boston Bruins should trade John Beecher to the Columbus Blue Jackets in return for former first-round pick Yegor Chinakhov:

Earlier in the off-season, it was made public that Chinakhov has requested a trade, and it came as a shock to many.

His agent was the one who made it public, and he stated that Blue Jackets head coach Dean Evason was the main reason:

Starting off the season, he began on the top line, but as the year went on he fell down the lineup, and found himself healthy scratched quite a bit.
