Here's What The Bruins Would Likely Give Up For Mattias Ekholm.
The Boston Bruins are dealing with their fair share of injuries on the blue line and they need some help.
In the middle of a playoff push it'll have to come through trade and the deadline is less then a month away.
One name that the Bruins have been connected to is Nashville Predators' defenseman Mattias Ekholm.
We've heard that it would cost the Bruins a first round pick along with a prospect and player likely to play now or two first round picks and a prospect.
Unfortunately the Bruins don't have a deep prospect system and it's actually been labelled as one of the worst in the NHL so they'd definitely have to overpay a bit.
According to Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic, this is what a Bruins' package for Ekholm would likely look like.
The B's 2021 first-round pick, winger Jake DeBrusk, center John Beecher and defenseman Urho Vaakanainen.
DeBrusk needs a change of scenery and would help sweeten the offer and also balance out the salary coming in.
Beecher was the B's first round pick at the 2019 draft and registered 8 points in 16 games this past season at the University of Michigan as he fills out his 6'3 210lb frame.
Vaakanainen would give the B's a defenseman going the other way and the B's 2017 first round pick has shown promise registering 2 assists in 8 games so far this season.
