Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins are struggling in the Atlantic Division and face tough decisions at the trade deadline, with Trent Frederic's injury complicating potential trades. GM Don Sweeney is considering a cautious approach, possibly selling assets like Morgan Geekie due to their precarious position outside playoff spots. Both teams face pivotal decisions that could shape their future success or setbacks. Key players like JG Pageau for the Blue Jackets and Frederic for the Bruins are central to potential trade moves.
