New insight has unfolded that revealed the Boston Bruins are set to acquire an elite center to officially replace the organization's former number one, Patrice Bergeron.
Following the departure of Patrice Bergeron, the Boston Bruins organization has undoubtedly lacked down the middle, and a new report has unveiled that the organization is speculated to acquire Bergeron's replacement.
That replacement being a 26-year old stud who currently players for the Vancouver Canucks, Elias Pettersson.
The Vancouver Canucks' former 1st-round pick (5th overall) in the 2017 NHL Draft has accumulated 185 goals, 272 assists, totalling at a whopping 457 points in 471 games played in his NHL career thus far.
The acquisition of Pettersson has been speculated on social media via Instagram with a full break-down.
Take a look:
«There's a lot of unknown in this exercise, which is why I tend to steer clear from the «armchair GM» stuff on here, just because you never really know whether trades or signings are actual possibilities, and that's no different with Pettersson. He's got a NMC, the Canucks have a new head coach, maybe they want to hang onto him or maybe he wouldn't want to come to Boston. That's unknown
What is known is that, even with JT Miller gone, Pettersson trade rumors have still circulated. After 100 points in 2022-23, he had 89 in 23-24, then 45 while missing time in 24-25. It's clear he wasn't cohesive with Tocchet, and a change of scenery is likely for the best. I don't buy into the laziness stuff, the same stuff has been said about Pastrnak and many other good players.
I refuse to believe he is simply washed at 26, and it's not like he was playing with McDavid or MacKinnon or something during his 100 point season. Bruins want an offensive coach and that would benefit a player like Pettersson. The Bruins aren't tearing it down, and if you want a legit shot to truly compete in the 88/73 era, you need to take some risks. The opportunity is there to buy low on Pettersson, and what's the floor there anyway? A good offensive 2C?»
