Could Bruins trade first-round pick?
Boston is slated to pick No. 7 overall, their highest draft choice since drafting Tyler Seguin (No. 2) in 2010.

However, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll stay there. During Marco Sturm's introductory press conference on Tuesday morning, Sweeney left the possibility of a trade wide open.
'We've been an aggressive organization, whether or not you want to point out fault in regard to trying to win and accomplish the ultimate goal. That's what we're here for,' Sweeney said. 'So we will use the draft capital and try and improve our hockey club this year and moving forward in every capacity possible. It might be making the selection, but it won't mean that we aren't having conversations that say, 'How do we improve our hockey club today and moving forward.''
Sweeney's trade deadline fire sale has Boston's draft arsenal well stocked.
In addition to No. 7 overall, the Bruins have an extra second-round pick this year, an extra first-round pick in 2026, and another future first-rounder in either 2027 or 2028.

What irks Boston Celtics fans more, Marcus Smart to the Lakers, or Ben Simmons rumors?
What are Boston Celtics fans more irked by, Marcus Smart to the Los Angeles Lakers, or Ben Simmons rumors? The Celtics have been linked to the former Los Angeles Clippers big man despite his well-publicized travails during his stints with the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers before joining the Clippers in the same week that Smart, former Boston floor general, signed a deal with the Lakers after being bought out by the Washington Wizards. Needless to say, neither of these offseason news items went over well with a large portion of the Boston faithful, with some riled up by the possibility of seeing a beloved former player suiting up in gold and purple, and others cringing at the notion of Simmons playing for the Celtics. The folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at what is behind the visceral responses to both. Check it out below!
