Bruins
NHL Rumors: Which players, picks are the Bruins' best trade assets?
The Bruins could stand to make some moves this offseason. They don't have enough at wing and they might be on their way to losing at least one (and possibly two) top-four defensemen.
Here's the issue, though: They don't have much trade capital. They gave their first-round pick to the Ducks in the David Backes salary dump, and they don't have a wealth of prospects who could serve as prime chips.
So just for the hell of it, let's put everyone on the table and run through the Bruins' trade assets. You'll find that most of their good ones wouldn't make sense to move if the Bruins are trying to compete now.
