Trade speculations are starting to heat up, and I’m going to take this opportunity to mention one rumour you should be hearing about: goaltending help for the Boston Bruins. Last night Boston gave up 6 goals to the New York Rangers. Both Tim Thomas and Hannu Toivonen were porous at best, with Toivonen failing to stop the first shot he faced after coming in to relieve Thomas. Which of those two gets the nod tonight against the Sabres? Which one will want it?
There aren’t many goaltenders available, and it will be interesting to see who the Bruins target. Martin Biron and David Abeischer are likely untouchable, as neither Buffalo nor Montreal will be eager to trade Biron within their division. Vesa Toskala, JS Giguerre, Ilya Bryzgalov and Evgeni Nabokov could all be available but none will be cheap. Nabokov for soon to be UFA Brad Stuart rumours started months ago and could gain volume after tonight’s dreadful performance.
