Jim Montgomery’s choice to platoon Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark during this year’s playoffs elicited a wonderful response from Mike Felger.
Throughout general manager Don Sweeney’s tenure, the Boston Bruins have been a very busy team in the weeks and months leading up to the NHL trade deadline.
Sweeney is accustomed to making decisions during the season. Additionally, he has completed a number of successful deals. With these pre-deadline trades, he has an excellent hit rate.
What plans does he have before the trade deadline this season? The Bruins have reportedly been considering acquiring additional scoring depth, according to Emily Kaplan of ESPN.
“The Bruins, despite once again exceeding expectations, are going to feel pressure to do something at the trade deadline to improve their team,” Kaplan wrote on Thursday. It’s just the way the market and the company are. They are reportedly scouting middle-six forwards, particularly those who have the ability to score goals.”
