Alright folks, so I’m a little late on posting this. Sorry about the delay, but we had some technical difficulties in the last 12 hours that thankfully I was able to clear up.

Since I shot this video a few things have changed on the trade deadline landscape. The Bruins were able to pick up Brett Connolly from Tampa Bay for a couple of second round draft picks. While I’m happy that we didn’t have to give up any pieces of the current roster, I don’t see this being a trade that will impact the outcome of this season. Connolly is more of a building block player who the team can hopefully shape into a top-6 forward down the road. He’s only 22 years old and at 6’2″ 181 pounds he has a little growing to do to truly be that “elite” RW that we want him to be. I think he’s more of a Reilly Smith type guy, but we’ll see how that shapes up.

Secondly, one of my targets (Erik Cole) was picked up by the Red Wings, which stings a little bit since I don’t want to root for Detroit. I knew it would have been a reach to even get a guy like Cole, and maybe its good that we weren’t able to pick him up since the Red Wings gave up two prospects and a second round pick for him.

Overall, this is pretty much where I expected the Bruins to be at this point, having not really stirred up too much. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if they still try to make a move to pick up a solid defensive presence before the day is done.
