After a dreadful start to the five-game road trip with losses to the Buffalo Sabres and Calgary Flames, the Boston Bruins have rebounded with wins over the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks. As play begins on Sunday around the NHL, the Black and Gold are sitting one point behind for the final Eastern Conference wild card spot. The problem is, there is a major logjam.
We are two months away from the trade deadline, and there are still questions as to whether the Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney will be sellers, buyers, or just stand pat. Last year, they were big-time sellers and traded some very key pieces.
