Bruins miss out on an ideal player
Joshua is an ideal player for the Boston Bruins, he could bring in some secondary scoring for the team, while also playing a physical game, something the Bruins love.
Dakota Joshua, acquired by TOR, is a physical bottom six winger who had a difficult 2024-25 season after battling cancer in the 2024 offseason. At his best, he's a solid net crasher who throws lots of hits. #LeafsForever
He struggled offensively in the 2024-25 season scoring just 7 goals, 7 assists for 14 points, but just two years ago he scored a career high in goals with 18, assists with 14, and points with 32.
The Bruins are lacking in secondary scoring, and it was something many believed they were going to address in the off-season, but have not done that.
Do you think the Boston Bruins should have traded for Dakota Joshua for a 4th round pick in three years?
