The Boston Bruins have seen their name pop up in a ton of rumors over the last few weeks. They’ve appeared aggressive in trade talks as they search to improve their roster.

NHL Insider Frank Seravalli has revealed that the Calgary Flames are close to finalising a trade deal for defenseman Rasmus Andersson.

Canucks center Elias Pettersson continues to surface in the rumor mill. The Hurricanes are reportedly entertaining offers for Jesperi Kotkaniemi.

Rasmus Andersson’s trade market is heating up as multiple contenders push for clarity before key roster deadlines. With Boston, Vegas, and others weighing contract risks against playoff upside, Calgary holds firm leverage.

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brett Kulak has created some chatter in the rumor mill as a potential trade candidate. With the Penguins retooling, it is certainly fair to wonder if they will flip the veteran pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) defenseman.

Boston is among a small group of teams heavily pursuing Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson, who is expected to be traded as part of Calgary’s rebuild. SportsNet Canada’s Darren Dreger tweeted:

Dougie Hamilton’s name has started to appear in NHL trade discussions more often, and the reason is quite obvious. The defenseman of the New Jersey De.

Gudas is currently in the final year of his contract and is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA). Thus, if the Ducks find themselves out of the playoff race near the deadline, Gudas would be a prime rental candidate. With the Sabres needing another right-shot defenseman and veteran, he could be a great fit on Buffalo's roster.
