Bruins Eye Draft-Day Leap to Grab Their Guy

Boston is doing what smart teams do in June - kicking the tires on a move that can change the board, not just the pick. Trading up in the NHL Draft is never cheap, but it is often the fastest way to land a player a team has targeted all year. The Bruins have spent enough time in this league to know that waiting and hoping can leave you staring at the wrong name on the card. If they really believe the player they want is worth the climb, this is the kind of maneuver that can define a draft room.
