"We started a plan - a painful one at that particular time - last deadline to add to the organizational depth and talent. We've done some of that. We've got work to do, to continue to do. But we're going to explore both sides of the fence. At the end of the day, we're proud of our group and we believe in them."
"Not only does Boston have each of its own first-round picks in both 2026 and 2027, but they also hold both the Maple Leafs' 2026 first-round selection and the Florida Panthers' 2027 selection. On top of that, Boston has plenty of Day 2 draft selections on hand that it can part with if necessary."
The Boston Bruins are keeping all options open ahead of the March 6 trade deadline despite maintaining a playoff spot with a 33-21-5 record. GM Don Sweeney stated the team will explore both sides of the fence, potentially moving assets for draft capital or acquiring impact players with term. The Bruins have accumulated significant trade chips over recent years, including their own first-round picks in 2026 and 2027, plus first-round selections from Toronto and Florida. Boston also holds multiple second and third-round picks across the next four drafts. Rather than pursuing rentals, the team may leverage these assets strategically to either build organizational depth or acquire established players.
