The Boston Bruins are looking to take advantage of the active trade market, with general manager Don Sweeney expressing his eagerness to participate.
The lead-up to free agency has seen several big moves, including the trade of Brady Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers.
The Panthers sent three first-round picks to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Tkachuk, who had played 572 games in the NHL and recorded 463 points.
The Bruins are coming off a 45-27 record and are currently 5th in the Eastern Conference, on a W2 streak, after losing 1-4 to the Buffalo Sabres on 2026-05-01.
The team is looking to make moves to improve their roster, with Sweeney saying "it's been busy, obviously around the league and chatter and I don't think the transactions are going to stop between now and the timeframe in July".
The Bruins have already made one move, trading away Brad Marchand, and are looking to make more, with Sweeney saying "we're eager to be participating" in the trade market.
The team is looking to rebuild and make a push for the playoffs, with Sweeney facing pressure to make moves after the team's early exit from the playoffs.
The Bruins' fans are eager to see what moves the team will make, with many calling for Sweeney to be more aggressive in the trade market.
The team's standing in the Eastern Conference is a testament to their strength, but they will need to make some moves to stay competitive.
