Source: Blue Jackets 'Really Like' Bruins Prospect Lohrei (Boston Hockey Now)

Are the Blue Jackets targeting Bruins top defenseman prospect Mason Lohrei in NHL trade talks for Vladislav Gavrikov?

Also, there has been plenty of NHL trade chatter that the Blue Jackets will follow up a Gavrikov trade and acquire Chychrun. But Boston I think is going for a left D, and we’ll see what else they come up with.” He also speculated that they could still circle back and pull off a blockbuster on the NHL trade market for Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun. “The Bruins have to do some things to make this work. “Not to be ‘Captain Obvious’ here but they really like Lohrei,” the source told BHN. On Tuesday, a trusted NHL source confirmed to Boston Hockey Now that there is indeed serious interest in Lohrei from the Blue Jackets.

With the NHL's trade deadline nearing, there's been some smoke surrounding the Bruins and Columbus defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov.

Gavrikov Trade to Bruins Reportedly Getting Close (Yardbarker)

According to multiple sources, the Boston Bruins and Columbus Blue Jackets might be close to completing a deal for defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov.

Ball (or puck) is in Boston's court as they try to make the $ work. With only 21 players on the roster, they can’t really demote anyone to the AHL to make room, thus a cap-clearing trade would likely have to be made to fit Gavrikov in at all.

Per source, #CBJ & #NHLBruins have the framework of a trade in place (talk of a 1st/3rd in package), but Boston has to clear cap space. It's understood that if another team swoops in with a competitive/better offer, they could go that route.

Think of some of the younger guys that the Sens have had in and out of their blueline the last number of years. To then take that out and add in a player like Parayko, who is 29 and as I mentioned is in the first year of that deal that goes to age 37. My guess is that the Blues will now leverage those first-round picks, and may even keep their first-round pick to try and bring someone like Timo Meier into the fold who can then play with Jordan Kyrou, Robert Thomas and Brayden Schenn and be a part of that Blues core moving forward with a long term extension. In terms of his productivity and his impact on the ice for the Blues.And if they’re looking to make a dent on their blueline and create some of that cap flexibility, Parayko has some value. As noted by Pagnotta, the Bruins could look to trade out Craig Smith, who carries a cap hit of $3.1-million. More recently than that, Paul Stastny moved at the deadline for a first-round pick, he then takes that pick in a package to get Ryan O’Reilly.Now you fast forward, Tarasenko and O’Reilly both fetch first-round picks and the Blues now have three first-round picks this year.

Report: Bruins vs Kings In Australia On Hold (Boston Hockey Now)

Plans for the Boston Bruins and the Kings to play in Melbourne, Australia next September, have reportedly been put on hold.

So they essentially pulled the pin at the last second. Plans for the Bruins to play a two-game set against the Los Angeles Kings in Melbourne, Austraila next September, have reportedly been put on hold.

Boston Bruins Winger Could Hit Another Gear And Take Off (Causeway Crowd)

In the midst of a Linus Ullmark Vezina season, a David Pastrnak scoring race, and the return of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci there is not much of a sore ...

By these metrics, Hall has been playing his worst hockey and the worst among the forwards. But with the third line it has worked and it has provided balance. Which is not bad for where he is in the lineup. As a line they average 8.57 expected goals for and have scored 11 and have managed to do good work in the high danger area of the ice. It appears that the top line will of course stay intact as evidenced since the return of Jake DeBrusk. [monstrous December](https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/player/taylor-hall-2599/game-log) recording 12 points, but since then he had amassed eight points between January and February and only finding the back of the net three times. His time on those two lines has not worked as well as you’d hope and the chemistry is not there. In fact, Hall is on pace for 23 goals which would be his highest total since the year he won the Hart Trophy. Hall has seen time with David Pastrnak and David Krejci, while also seeing time on the top line. In the midst of a Linus Ullmark Vezina season, a David Pastrnak scoring race, and the return of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci there is not much of a sore spot. Hall is going to remain in Boston for two more years. Boston Bruins Taylor Hall finds himself on the third line with Charlie Coyle and Trent Frederic.

Boston Bruins Trade Deadline Options (Causeway Crowd)

The Boston Bruins are the best team in the league but that hasn't stopped people from speculating about a major trade to make a final push for the playoffs.

Boston has to make sure more money is going out to make a big move come in. Once Nosek comes back the need for Smith might not be there and it isn’t fair to him to keep him in the sky box when he can help out a team and the Bruins could use his contract to add to a place of thinner depth. The best option is probably Lysell if you want the best return. Leading the group is Merkulov who is in his second season with the Providence Bruins at 85%. There are some reservations about if any team would take on that contract but Cliffy Hockey could be a good pickup for a team looking to gain some cap space at the end of the season. A lot of the teams around them have made additions to their team to try and catch the Bruins in the standings.

NHL Rumors: The East, the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay ... (MyNHLTradeRumors.com)

Teams in the Eastern Conference are sitting at the top of the NHL, with the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning looking to add even more.

I really do think they like (Vladislav) Gavrikov from Columbus and I think Gavrikov was pulled from the games because I think they were talking to Boston. How do they make these moves and that’s what I think Boston’s figuring out right now. That’s one of the most fascinating things for me is, is that all the East teams are the ones going, and what have we also talked about? I want to call it the Eastern Octagon. I think it’s really fascinating. Marek: “I don’t want to call it the Eastern Conference anymore Elliotte.
