The Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres may combine for a blockbuster trade involving a star player.
Entering this season, it was clear that the Boston Bruins needed another top-six winger, especially on the right wing.
After losing Jake DeBrusk two years ago (right winger), the Boston Bruins have had a big hole in their top-six and it's becoming a big problem.
Because of this, they are now being linked to a big named player, and a trade could happen.
Bruins linked to Buffalo Sabres forward Alex Tuch
According to Bruins insider Jimmy Murphy, two NHL sources have told him the Buffalo is listening to offers on star forward Alex Tuch.
To add to that, one of the sources ended up telling Murphy that the Boston Bruins are a team that has expressed interest.
"Buffalo is listening on Alex Tuch," Murphy's source said. "From what I know, the Bruins and Oilers have inquired, along with a couple of other teams."
This should not come as a surprise, especially considering the problem the Bruins are having right now with scoring goals.
According to Michael DeRosa of The Hockey News, this isn't the first time the Bruins have been linked to him.
"This is not the first time the Bruins have been connected to Tuch, either. Leading up to the 2024 NHL trade deadline, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman mentioned that he believed the Bruins and New York Rangers were two clubs that expressed interest in Tuch."

Tuch would be an instant upgrade in the top-six for the Bruins, and is already off to a good start this year, scoring 1 goal, 3 assists for 4 points in 6 games.
