Boston Bruins acquire Jake DeBrusk's replacement in massive trade?

As the team is out of playoff contention, trade rumors are heating up around the Islanders veteran.

The Athletic's Arthur Staple thinks that Lou Lamiorello could get a great return, should Lamiorello trade Nelson.

Nelson is a consistent, goal-scoring forward for the Islanders producing 25 goal seasons for the past six seasons in the NHL. His veteran leadership skills and versatility to play both wing and center make him an attractive trade candidate.

But Lamiorello's asking price is a bit steep, as he wants 1st round pick and a prospect in return for Nelson.

Some Islanders fans think he should ask for more, but if this is the case could the Bruins find a way to make a move for one of the Islander's best wingers?

He could be a solid addition to the Bruins top six and add scoring depth that is much needed.

In 82 games with the Islanders last season Nelson scored 69 points( 34 G, 35 a).

The Bruins have their 1st round draft pick in 2025 and would have to decide if they want to part ways with Fabian Lysell, Matthew Poitras or Mason Lohrei for the towering winger.
