The Bruins goal is reportedly to move into the top five. If they are unsuccessful, they would like to use the 7th overall pick in a trade package that could get them a player for their lineup now. Two players the Bruins have expressed prior interest in are C JG Pageau (32) and RFA D Noah Dobson (25)
