NHL Rumors for February 21, 2022 feature the Boston Bruins looking for scoring help and possible trade targets are J.T. Miller or Tomas Hertl.

The Boston Bruins are in need of a few trades if they want to have a long playoff run. They need to address more scoring and need help on the blue line. The top priority is finding a goal scorer and NHL rumors have the Bruins interested in trading for one of J.T. Miller or Tomas Hertl.

Nick Goss of NBC Sports reports the Boston Bruins first need is to find a scorer and they should target J.T. Miller or Tomas Hertl. This player would be the No. 2 center, but a winger would be a much needed upgrade also.

Goss went on to say, the Bruins’ four most likely first-round opponents in the playoffs are the Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Pittsburgh Penguins and Carolina Hurricanes. All are in the top nine in goals scored per game and the Bruins can’t match their firepower currently.

If Boston’s powerplay or first-line struggles to score, they will need that second line scoring to help if they want to compete against the top teams in the playoffs.

Over the past few days, rumors have circulated that the Vancouver Canucks are looking to keep Miller and trade Brock Boeser. Hertl may be the best option for the Bruins, but they are not the only team interested in him and the cost will be high. ( First round pick plus a top prospect)

  1. Everyone says they aren’t contenders and then they beat up on the leagues best teams. Carolina is the only one they haven’t had much luck with.

    1LD is probably the best, first move they can make and it pretty much needs to be Chychrun.

    Second is a 1RW that doesn’t need to officially be a 1RW. Just need to help Bergy and Marchy as more of a goal scorer, first on puck. This can be a rental like a P Kessel

  2. Boston is not realistically a Stanley Cup contender this year. If they make a trade it should be for young left handed defenseman or a second line centre with term. If this is not possible then they should keep their draft picks and get on with a rebuild!!

  3. Boston is on the decline, not a Stanley Cup contender. Don’t make any trades, save your draft picks and prospects. Rebuild on the fly over the next few years.
