Bruins Eyeing 3x Cup Champ To Fix Major Personel Problem
The Boston Bruins are reportedly eyeing this 3x Stanley Cup Champion to fix some of the massive gaps remaining in their roster in order to make a post-season push.
Bruins Looking to Trade For Pat Maroon To Fix Roster Issues
The Boston Bruins are emerging as the league's frontrunners for Stanley Cup favourite this year, however, they still have some issues they need to address before the trade deadline if they want to be a serious post-season contender. One of these issues is physicality. Bruins Head Coach Jim Montgomery had the following to say after a loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets:
I think we've just been an easy team to play against.
This issue is especially glaring with the absence of Milan Lucic, who likely won't return to the lineup this year. However, the Bruins may have found a replacement, someone who can bring the physicality and knows how to win Stanley Cups. That someone is Pat Maroon.
NHL executives have said that Pat Maroon could be available for a trade, saying the following:
I'm starting to hear his name out there.
Maroon Could Fill the Gaps that the Bruins Have in their Roster
Maroon is exactly the type of physical player that the Bruins could use, and would fit nicely in the gap left by Milan Lucic. He knows how to win Stanley Cups, and can hold his own production-wise, scoring 11 points in 23 games so far this year.
Pat Maroon has 7 points already this season, as many as Matthew Tkachuk and Nathan MacKinnon.
He's also still hilarious on the ice. Definitely miss him in Tampa
