Boston Bruins linked to Chicago Blackhawks forward
The Boston Bruins may be interested in a young forward on the Chicago Blackhawks. First reported by Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe, and his reasoning behind it does make sense.
A potential move the Bruins may consider this summer is bringing in youngster Kirby Dach from the Blackhawks. As Dupont states in his article:
"With the unknown status of Patrice Bergeron, Sweeney needs to add at least one centermen to the mix, as the best two under contract currently are Erik Haula and Charlie Coyle."
(from 'Kevin Paul Dupont: Early playoff exit means Bruins may need to be bold in rebuilding roster, especially up front,' Boston Globe 05/21/22).
As the third overall pick in 2019, Dach has failed to make a significant impact at the NHL level so far, but he's still only 21-years-old. The 6'4", 197 lb centre has plenty of talent and a very high ceiling (there's a reason he was taken third overall). Given his lack of success with Chicago to this point, Dupont states it may not cost as much as some would think to acquire the youngster. The package he suggested would see Jake Debrusk and Brandon Carlo headed the other way.
From a Bruins standpoint, this trade makes a lot of sense, but the Blackhawks are in rebuild mode and trading a 21-year-old, possible franchise centre for two guys that are both four years older doesn't make the most sense on their side.
