Not looking for rentals or a blockbuster here. Bruins strength is their defensive line, and it's no secret they need help on forwards. Preferably more of the offensive minded/skilled variety.
For any teams looking for defensemen, the Bruins have:
Expansion exempt: Urho Vaakanainen LD
Not expansion exempt: Connor Clifton RD, Jakub Zboril LD, Jeremy Lauzon LD
If I had to guess, Seattle will likely take one of the defenseman for the draft (not guaranteed, but my guess)
Wondering if any team that needs defense, has NHL ready forwards (wingers or centers that can play wing), that would be a good match to trade. I'm not going to pretend to know the value of players around the league, but at floor, all of the Bruins I listed are at minimum bottom pair NHL ready defensemen, and depending on scout and/or opinion, the ceiling ranges between the 4 defenseman I listed above. I'd imagine depending on your opinion of any of them, they all probably have different values, but currently, I'd say they are similarly stacked on the depth chart.
Looking for similarly aged (or under 27 year old) forwards that might be a good swap that could be beneficial for both teams. Urho, ideally would return more since he's exempt OR more willing to be traded for an exempt forward. Probably looking for forwards that at minimum would be bottom 6; with the potential to be higher.
Any teams or players that would be a good matchup for this kinda deal?
Edit: bolded what I'm looking for/not looking for.
