[Rumour] Clowe to Boston


Recommended Posts

The Boston Bruins’ search for a physical, scoring third-line winger continues.

CSNNE.com's Joe Haggerty reported the Bruins line of Chris Kelly, Rich Peverley and the recently waived Chris Bourque lacked the size and strength to be effective in the offensive zone.

Haggerty noted the Bruins scouts spent the past two weeks following the San Jose Sharks and that they could be watching Ryane Clowe. Other trade targets include Calgary's Jarome Iginla, Dallas' Brenden Morrow, Edmonton's Ryan Smyth and Columbus' Vaclav Prospal.

Clowe, Morrow and Smyth are eligible for unrestricted free agency in July, which could open them up as rental players by the trade deadline. Their availability, however, depends on their respective clubs' position in the standings.

Prospal can play either wing, but he's not physical. Iginla is a top-line right winger, meaning the Bruins would have to drop one of their current top-sixers to the third line to accommodate him.

Iginla must also agree to a trade and the Flames’ asking price would be expensive, whereas the others would be more affordable options.

This trade would make no sense at all, why would a team trade a guy like Clowe? He's one of those players you hate to play against but would love on your team.... Plus, what would Boston give up to get him? I'm pretty sure that trade would even out, so it would prove to be futile, in terms of players exchanged.

Bruins getting reinforcements?

On TSN's Insider Trading on Thursday night, Darren Dreger stated that the Boston Bruins could soon be adding Carl Soderberg from the Swedish Elite League once his current club Linkoping is out of the playoffs.

"He is 6'3", 225 pounds and they believe he can play as a second line centre, second line winger or at worst case in their top nine," Dreger said. "He's the real deal."
