Sean Kuraly

Sean Kuraly has been the model of consistency and Boston Bruins hockey on the fourth line for his past four years on the squad. One of the greatest gets in Don Sweeney’s tenure as GM, Kuraly brings the energy and a rare skill game for a bottom-six unit.

Kuraly is a young guy that the Boston Bruins surely would love to keep for whatever direction they head in the future. Saying that, playoff teams pay for depth now more than ever and Kuraly is an approaching UFA that the Bruins would absolutely be able to snag some picks or a nice prospect for. He could also be a guy the Bruins package for a big move.

Tuukka Rask

Tuukka Rask has never been truly accepted since getting the full-time job as Boston Bruins goaltender. After his sudden departure from the NHL Bubble, the buzz heated up more than ever on if the clock is ticking on Rask’s time with the Bruins organization.

If the Boston Bruins truly decide that it is time to cut ties with one of the great Bruins goalies or don’t see him returning in 2022, it would be wise for them to get assets for what would surely be a great haul for a Vezina winning goalie.

The only possible issue with trying to trade him is that not many playoff-contending teams are in need of an actual starter. Usually, their need is for a solid backup. If they can find a partner for the blockbuster, the Bruins would be absolutely getting a 1st round pick and/or an A+ prospect in return.
