Monster Trade Rumor Out of Boston

There are reports out of Boston that the Bruins are going to make a big trade soon. Up against the salary cap, the Bruins need to resign unrestricted free agent Adam McQuaid and restricted free agent Dougie Hamilton. According to Joe Haggerty of CSSNE, the Bruins will be forced to make a trade for cap relief:

Obviously they’ve got to look to trade some people from their roster. I think Milan Lucic is the one they’ve got to look long and hard at entering free agency. [Lucic's return] probably the most you would get back in a trade except if they start to think about Dougie Hamilton and potentially trading him. Because he’s a restricted free agent, because there could be offer sheets thrown his way.

The Bruins are offering Milan Lucic and their first round draft pick for the Arizona Coyotes third overall pick in the 2015 NHL draft.
