The Boston Bruins retool is complete and will have a new look thanks to GM Don Sweeney, here's the final tally for today's deadline

The Boston Bruins will have a new look, and it will be without Brad Marchand who has been a franchise player.

The last Captain to follow Patrice Bergeron.

Now GM Don Sweeney has restocked the team with draft picks, prospects, and some NHL quality players.

While it's arguable whether the Bruins will ever find their window of contention again, they did find some quality players involved in some of these trades.

Charlie Coyle

The Boston Bruins traded 3C Charlie Coyle and the 2026 5th-round pick today to the Colorado Avalanche for Center Casey Mittelstadt, William Zellers, and a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Coyle will be a rental for the Avalanche who have Stanley Cup hopes. While the Bruins receive assets, and a promising young forward in Mittelstadt.

Brandon Carlo

The Bruins took advantage of the Maple Leafs' need for a solid defensive option and traded Brandon Carlo to their longtime rivals, receiving forward Fraser Minten, and a 2025 1st-round pick in return. A solid return for Carlo.

Don Sweeney Goes Wild

While the Wild were eager to add bottom-six depth from the Bruins with Justin Brazeau. Sweeney would keep adding to the grab-bag with the addition of a 2026 sixth-round pick, Jakub Lauko, and Marat Khusnutdinov.

The retool didn't end there either, as the Bruins traded forwards Max Jones, and Trent Frederic to Edmonton for Max Wanner for the Blues 2025 2nd-round pick, and the Oilers 2026 fourth-round pick.

Let's make no mistake Don Sweeney tallied some wins here, but the Marchand trade to Florida is where it all fell off as he received less in value for Marchand than Brandon Carlo, with a 2027 2nd-round pick, which could become a 2028 1st conditionally.
