Ranking the Bruins Trade Deadline Assets

Here's some pieces the Bruins could swing in possible trades before the Trade Deadline

The Bruins will have to make tough decisions in the personnel department over the next couple of weeks. A last effort to confine their roster during this destiny season and last ditch effort to give this aging core one more championship. Going up and down the lineup, there are not many holes. But if the NHL Playoffs have always told us one thing, you can never have enough depth. For that notice, the Bruins at least will be scavenging around for some extensity to their lineup.

There are also scenarios where Boston may target a bigger named player that comes at a heftier price. Although the pipeline may suggest otherwise, as The Athletic ranked Boston dead last in their latest prospect pool rankings. The Bruins will not have as many high-end assets to offer; which could be the driving factor to the Bruins looking towards players with less of a price tag, but will still address their depth.

Here are the top-5 ranked prospects/ draft picks that Boston could very well be dangling in trade discussions.

The 20-year-old Swedish forward is the undoubted #1 prospect in the system. He is as highly regarded as they come, and most consider him to be a top-30 prospect across the whole league. Fabian Lysell was selected 21st overall in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft by Boston. His stock catapulted when he posted 62 points in 53 games on the Vancouver Giants in the WHL after being drafted. He set the WHL Playoffs on fire that year with 21 points in just 12 games. From there he inked his entry-level contract with the Bruins.
