Transaction: Massive trade proposal emerges between the Bruins and Jets
The Winnipeg Jets could lose a major asset in Rutger McGroarty who is currently on the outs, with the team.
The Boston Bruins are indeed going all in on free-agency as GM Don Sweeney has been aggressively pursuing multiple avenues to upgrade the Bruins lineup.
One player the Bruins are coveting is the Winnipeg Jets Rutger McGroarty, who is projected to develop into a top-six talent for any team which acquires him.
His last season with the Michigan Wolverines saw him post 52 points(16 G, 36 A) in 36 games in the NCAA.
The Bruins have already been linked to the Jets prospect according to the Winnipeg Free Press' own Mike McinTyre
Hearing tonight they've had ongoing talks with the #NHLJets. We'll see if this goes anywhere.
Was told earlier today from a source Buffalo, Columbus, NY Islanders have also checked in.
The Bruins prospect pool lacks important depth and it's understandable why they'd be all in on McGroarty.
If Don Sweeney can pull this off, he will end up being the Bruins' best prospect. McGroarty's skillset would be a welcome addition to Boston, being a highly skilled and gritty forward.
He has earned praise for his leadership skills at the 2024 World Junior Championships recently.
