Boston Bruins Complete Trade with Tampa Bay Lightning
Don Sweeney and Julien Brisbois just completed another trade as day two of the 2025 NHL draft continues.
The Boston Bruins are in a tough spot as an organization as their prospect pool is rather depleted and now their NHL squad has also become one of the worst in the Eastern Conference.
Luckily, the team has added to their pool over the past two days as they added James Hagens, who was once thought to be a first-overall caliber prospect.
The team also added William Moore and Liam Pettersson in the second round, giving their prospect pool more depth.
At this point in the draft though, it appears as though the team is not particularly high on any of the remaining prospects.
Earlier today, they traded down with the Montreal Canadiens, giving up the 69th overall pick.
Now, they have traded another pick, this time sending the 108th overall pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a 4th round pick in next year's draft.
This is effectively a wash, as it is a 4th round pick for a 4th round pick.
The Lightning used the pick they acquired in this trade to select Finnish forward Benjamin Rautiainen.
Perhaps the Bruins have more faith in the 2026 class, and believe that they could get a better prospect with that pick next year.
After all, many scouts have noted that this year's class is a bit weak, lacking depth in the later rounds.
Furthermore, as the Bruins are at the beginning of their rebuild, they have plenty of time to let their prospects develop before there will be serious pressure on the team to be competitive again.
All things considered, the Bruins have already done well this year, landing Hagens at 7th overall as many expected him to go in the top-five.
