There have been a lot of trade rumors surrounding the Boston Bruins so far this off-season, and now a 1-for-1 trade proposal has surfaced involving the Bruins and Montreal Canadiens.
Over the years, the Boston Bruins have played a specific brand of hockey which involved in players engaging in intimidation and fights more then normal.
Now a new trade proposal has surfaced that would see the Boston Bruins acquire another player who fits the brand of hockey the Bruins play.
Arber Xhekaj traded to the Bruins in proposed deal
Heavy.com has proposed a 1-for-1 trade where the Bruins would acquire feisty defenseman Arber Xhekaj, while eliminating their logjam in nets.
In this trade, the Bruins would acquire a 6-foot-4, 240 LBS left handed defenseman who has appeared in 165 NHL games.
Xhekaj ended up going undrafted, and in the 2024-25 season he recorded six points, 118 penalty minutes, 180 hits, and 63 blocks while averaging 14:37 of ice time per game.
The Montreal Canadiens have a lot of defensive prospects, and he seems to be the odd man out.
Korpisalo would give the Canadiens a solid backup goaltender who could share the net with Sam Montembeault.
With the Boston Bruins having a logjam in the crease, and the Montreal Canadiens having a logjam on defense, this trade would benefit both sides.
