Boston's Cam Neely Could Be Next On The Hot Seat The Boston Bruins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/] have been a popular team in the rumor mill, and it is easy to comprehend why. It has been a disappointing season for the Original Six club, and they are below the playoff line because of it. The possibility of a retool has also been brought up by president Cam Neely [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/bruins-president-considering-two-paths-for-trade-deadline], so changes could be on the way. Bruins like Brad Marchand [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/bruins-star-lands-new-big-role-with-team-canada], Trent Frederic, Brandon Carlo, Justin Brazeau, and Morgan Geekie have been creating chatter as trade candidates. However, let's look at three under-the-radar Bruins trade candidates who could have the potential to be dealt by March 7. ANDREW PEEKE NHL playoff teams often pay extra for big right-shot defensemen, so it is fair to wonder if the Bruins could listen to offers for Andrew Peeke. The 6-foot-3 blueliner could be a nice addition for a contender looking to improve the right side of their bottom pairing. Andrew Peeke [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjEyODk4OTgwMzM2NTEwNDcz/usatsi_25012504.jpg] Andrew Peeke Peeke, 26, has appeared in 51 games this season, posting one goal, 13 points, 55 hits, and 81 blocks. He is also signed beyond this season with a $2.75 million cap hit, which could lead to teams being interested. PARKER WOTHERSPOON Contenders are always on the hunt for defensive depth, so Parker Wotherspoon could generate some interest. The 27-year-old has an easily affordable $800,000 cap hit and offers value by being able to play both sides. Thus, he could be a nice seventh defenseman for a contender. Parker Wotherspoon [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjExOTUyODE1Njg0MTk5OTcx/usatsi_24774995.jpg] Parker Wotherspoon Wotherspoon has played in 30 games this season with the Bruins, where he has one goal, one assist, 37 blocks, and 38 hits. With Wotherspoon being a pending UFA, it would be understandable if he was flipped for a late-round pick. COLE KOEPKE Cole Koepke is another potential under-the-radar trade candidate for the Bruins. The 26-year-old forward is a pending UFA with a $775,000 cap hit, so he would be easy for a playoff team looking for more forward depth to afford. Cole Koepke [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjEwNzkyMDE1OTQ2ODUyMzI5/usatsi_24774949.jpg] Cole Koepke Koepke has shown this season that he can be impactful in a fourth-line role, as he provides energy and plenty of physicality. In 49 games this season, he has seven goals, 12 points, 105 hits, and a plus-9 rating. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Google News [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjEyMTYzODI4NzY5NjI5NzMx/google-news.png] Google News Stay updated with the most interesting Bruins stories, analysis, breaking news and more!
