There's been some chatter since the start of the season that the Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney have been testing the trade market to see what's out there.�
The team without a doubt needs some help up front as the Bruins first line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak have been carrying the team all season.�
According to NHL Inside Darren�Dreger, the Bruins have ramped up their efforts to land some help.�
"They are, and look - this isn't a news flash - they've been one of the teams that's seemingly been in the market pretty much from the start of the year, and it probably dates back to the offseason," noted Dreger. "And we know they tried Rick Nash as a rental, an unrestricted free agent, last year. They didn't go as deep as they were hoping or counting on, but they still believe that they are a Stanley Cup contender."
Dreger currently points to one specific team as a match.�
"But when I look at Boston, I want to connect them to an underachieving team like Los Angeles, maybe. I don't know what Jeff Carter's contract looks like with the no-moves, no-trades, all of that kind of stuff. But I know Jeff Carter knows how to win, and I think he's got enough left in his tank that he could help somebody. And obviously the Los Angeles Kings need to get a little bit younger and quicker, so maybe there's a trade fit there."
Would you be willing to trade for Carter if it meant giving up Bjork or Heinen or another young prospect?
