Ducks Loom as Bruins' Cleanest Trade Target

If Boston is serious about making a deal, Anaheim makes a lot of sense as a partner. The Ducks have the kind of assets that can fit a Boston conversation without requiring a full teardown of the Bruins' side of the table. Those are the trades front offices love because they let both teams call it a hockey deal while quietly solving different problems. The fit is not hard to see, which usually means the real work is in the price.
