Bruins Rumors: Boston Linked To Former Draft Pick

The Boston Bruins are expected to try to improve their defensive group this off-season. It is understandable, as they are coming off a bad season and undoubtedly need more stability on their backend. It appears that they are eyeing a player who they are already quite familiar with, as The Fourth Period reported that the Bruins are among the teams linked to pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) defenseman Ryan Lindgren. Advertisement Lindgren, 27, was selected by the Bruins with the 49th overall pick of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. However, the left-shot defenseman never ended up playing in a game for the Bruins, as he was traded to the New York Rangers at the 2018 NHL trade deadline in the move that brought Rick Nash to Boston. This is a move that did not age well for the Bruins. Hearing that the Bruins are reportedly interested in reuniting with Lindgren is understandable. The Minnesota native is a solid top-four defensive defenseman when playing at his best. In addition, he works well on the penalty kill, which adds to his appeal. Lindgren appeared in 72 games this season split between the New York Rangers and Avalanche, where he recorded four goals, 18 assists, 22 points, 80 hits, and 128 blocks. Overall, with the Bruins' blueline needing help, Lindgren could make sense for the Bruins to sign to an affordable short-term deal. However, with the Bruins already having three left-shot defensemen in Nikita Zadorov, Hampus Lindholm, and Mason Lohrei signed, Lindgren or another one of them would need to move to the right side if the Bruins successfully signed their former draft pick.

How to watch Islanders at Rangers as both New York teams seek to gain ground in playoff race

The New York Rangers host the New York Islanders at Madison Square Garden, and the upcoming NHL trade deadline is on everyone's mind. The Rangers are on the second half of a back-to-back after blanking the Nashville Predators 4-0 Sunday night at home. The Islanders also cruised past the struggling Predators 7-4 over the weekend, and even goalie Ilya Sorokin scored a goal. Both teams are currently below the playoff cut line in a tight Eastern Conference. The Rangers (64) sit two points back of the Detroit Red Wings (66), who own the second wild-card spot, while the Islanders are five points back (61) with a game in hand. Advertisement On Saturday, the Rangers traded Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey to the Colorado Avalanche for Juuso Parssinen, Calvin de Haan and a couple of picks. Here's more from Arthur Staple on why the trade makes sense and what comes next. Speaking of what comes next, the Rangers notably held forward Reilly Smith out of Sunday's game for roster management purposes, as Peter Baugh reported. Smith is a pending unrestricted free agent and a prime candidate to be moved ahead of Friday's 3 p.m. ET deadline. Meanwhile, the Islanders are well-represented at the top of The Athletic's latest trade board. Veteran forward Brock Nelson leads the list as an attractive 'rental' player for any contending team who can score goals and play in all situations, and fellow NHL veteran and scoring threat Kyle Palmieri could also help a team looking to make a Stanley Cup push this spring. Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello has a knack for holding on to his club's older players, and it remains to be seen if the Isles hang on in the playoff race. Staple had some fun breaking down some realistic and not-so-realistic subscriber-submitted trade proposals.
