The Boston Bruins are in a very competitive playoff race in the Eastern Conference, and even if it’s unlikely they’ll completely fall out of the mix, being sellers at the March 7 trade deadline might still be the best course of action.

"Trent Frederic has generated a ton of interest for a good portion of the season," Pagnotta said. "And Brazeau recently as well. They had contract talks with, I believe, both in December. It's been relatively mild since. So they're going to kind of see where they are at before they make a decision on selling either of those two players."

NHL Trade Deadline is quickly approaching and the Boston Bruins still don’t quite know if they’re buyers or sellers. The Bruins sit just outside the Eastern Conference playoff picture in a tight race—just two points separate them from a wild card spot and third place in the division.
