Bruins Eye Barzal as the Trade Bait Gets Interesting

The Bruins are being linked to Mathew Barzal, which is exactly the kind of rumor that starts making GMs stare at their phones a little too long. Barzal is the sort of player who can change the temperature of a room, and Boston has not been shy about circling names that fit that mold. The bigger question is whether he is actually available, because in this league “if available” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
