The Boston Bruins are reportedly looking to upgrade their roster.
The Boston Bruins have had mixed results so far this season, as their 8-7-2 record effectively demonstrates. Overall, while they are now above NHL .500, there is no question that their start has been below expectations.
With the Bruins having a rocky start to the season, it appears that general manager Don Sweeney is hoping to upgrade their roster.
According to a source who spoke with Responsible Gambler's Jimmy Murphy, the Bruins are specifically aiming to improve their top six:
"It's no secret that he wants a scoring winger for the top-6, but don't be surprised if he snags another top-6 center. Are we talking about a legit No. 1 center? Probably not because those are hard to find on the trade market, but maybe a 1B like they already have in (Elias) Lindholm.”
BruinsIt is not particularly surprising that the Bruins reportedly want to make a splash, whether by adding a top-six center or top-sox winger. The Bruins' offense has struggled early on, and there is no question that their top six could use a boost.
It will be very interesting to see if the Bruins make a big move from here.
