Bruins to get in the mix for Ho-Sang’s services?!

We doubt Josh Ho-Sang is still patiently waiting for a trade to happen as the New York Islanders players is training in Toronto in the meantime. 

The young forward wants a change of scenery, which promoted Steven Ellis of The Hockey News to dress a list of the five top destinations for Ho-Sang. And yes, surprise, the Boston Bruins are in the mix. 

Earlier this week, NHL insider Darren Dreger of TSN reported that Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello is working hard at trading the young forward, which could happen sooner rather than later. This is why Ellis believes the Bruins should make a move: 

“The Bruins are one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference and boast one of the best lines in the NHL in David Pastrnak (17 points), Brad Marchand (14 points) and Patrice Bergeron (eight points). But Brett Ritchie, who has three points, is fourth in scoring among Bruins forwards, and Ritchie and Danton Heinen are the only players not on the top line with more than a single goal. Depth scoring is an issue in Boston, and acquiring someone like Ho-Sang could help boost a group of right wingers that doesn’t have ideal depth options after Pastrnak. It’s a good buy-low option for Boston, and the Bruins can potentially offer a draft pick or a mid-range prospect to acquire Ho-Sang.”

Ellis also suggests that Ho-Sang could be moved to the Edmonton Oilers in return for Jesse Puljujarvi, who also demanded a trade. There are also the Arizona Coyotes, Carolina Hurricanes and Ottawa Senators on his list as potential destinations for the prospect. 

Do you believe it would be wise for Bruins general manager Don Sweeney to make this move?
