Bruins' Biggest Questions Heading Into the NHL Trade Deadline

Boston Bruins face high-stakes NHL trade deadline decisions as GM Don Sweeney weighs a bold course—buy, sell, or walk the line? Viktor Arvidsson and Andrew Peeke emerge as prime trade candidates, while key pieces like Casey Middlestadt and Pavel Žaka spark debates about the team’s long-term core. Can potential additions like Vincent Trocheck, Jordan Kyrou, or Justin Faulk fill crucial holes, or will homegrown talent such as Matt Poitras and Fabian Lysell finally seize NHL roles?

Host Ian McLaren breaks down possible roster shakeups, the impact of Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman’s Olympic return, and explores internal promotions from a red-hot Providence Bruins squad. Trade value, cap space, and future draft picks all come into play, as Boston’s playoff hopes hang in the balance. Is Sweeney ready to push forward with a retooled core or recoup assets for a brighter future? Find out what's next for the Black and Gold.
