The Bruins Reveal Five Players That Are Untradeable
As the trade deadline looms, the Boston Bruins face crucial decisions on potential roster moves. Known for their playoff-ready approach, the Bruins have historically traded young prospects and players for immediate impact.
However, recent discussions suggest caution with certain players in the current lineup.
Among the players generating buzz are Matt Poitras, a 19-year-old center who has impressed with five goals and eight assists in 27 games. Poitras, seen as untouchable by many Bruins fans, represents a promising future asset.
Trent Frederic, nearing a 20-goal season, has transcended his scrappy reputation and solidified his position as a versatile forward. His chemistry with
Charlie Coyle adds value, making him a significant asset to the team.
Rookie defenseman
Mason Lohrei, despite a bumpy start, has shown promise with three goals and three assists in 19 games. The Bruins are urged to hold onto Lohrei, given the lack of young defensemen showing potential as top-four blueliners.
John Beecher, another rookie, has demonstrated effective play as a fourth-liner. While not reaching the same ceiling as Poitras, Beecher's physical style and affordability make him a valuable depth player.
Jeremy Swayman, the 25-year-old goaltender, has become a focal point of trade talks. However, given Boston's goaltending strength and cost-effectiveness with both Swayman and
Linus Ullmark, the suggestion is to navigate the decision during the offseason.
As the Bruins navigate the trade deadline, the delicate balance between trading for immediate needs and securing the future will be pivotal. The spotlight is on these young players, each carrying their unique potential and contributions to the team's success.
