Recent statement unveils NHL insider urges Boston Bruins' general manager, Don Sweeney, to acquire a number one center blockbuster trade this offseason.

Following the Boston Bruins' struggles last campaign, the organization has voiced that they are seeking to be playoff contenders again this season.

Despite these high hopes, if this Original Six franchise intends to make the postseason, they undoubtedly need to find a true first-line center.

That said, an NHL insider has revealed he urges the Bruins to make a bold move this offseason in acquiring their potential missing piece.

NHL insider urges Boston Bruins to complete major move this offseason

NHL insider, Connor Ryan of BostonGlobe, urges this organization to make a bold move in acquiring Anaheim Ducks' Mason McTavish.

“If the Bruins want to build a new core alongside the usual suspects, they're going to need to form a 1-2 punch with Hagens - especially if 30-year-old Elias Lindholm eventually develops into more of a third center later in his career,” Ryan wrote. “It's easier said than done…”

Ryan continued:

“For the Bruins, the realistic path forward is via draft or trade,” Ryan added. “The first option could be to secure another high draft pick, but if the Bruins - with their cupboard restocked with picks and prospects after last year's teardown - wanted more of an established commodity, Mason McTavish could be an intriguing trade target.”

Do you think if the Boston Bruins acquire Anaheim Ducks' Mason McTavish this offseason, they will make postseason contention for their upcoming campaign?

Although it is uncertain, Bruins fans are hopeful that Boston undergoes a successful upcoming season.
