Trade Still Brewing Between Bruins And Blackhawks.
The Boston�Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney made another splash at this years trade deadline when they landed Ondrej Kase and Nick�Ritchie at the trade deadline.�
They were in the mix for a bunch of players and it looks like they could still be in the mix for one of them.�
The Bruins could look to solidify their top nine for next season and make a move with the Chicago Blackhawks.�
The Blackhawks are trying to move a couple of forwards and were in talks with the Bruins earlier this season regarding Brandon Saad.�
Just like Kase and Ritchie, Saad is signed through the 2020-21 season but will become UFA instead of RFA after that season which will give the Bruins a nice piece to make a push now and open up cap space to likely re-sign Kase down the road.�
The Bruins have a couple of pieces they could send the other way and open up a bit of extra cap space.�
It'll also present another way of strengthening the power play which could fall off a bit without Torey Krug.�
Saad continues to quietly be reliable and produce only missing the 20 goal mark once over the last six seasons when he scored 18 in 2017-18. The 27 year old had 21 goals in 58 games this year before the season was put on hold.�
