While the Boston Bruins currently hold the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference, defenseman Andrew Peeke has been the subject of trade speculation this season.<\/p>\n
Peeke was included on NHL insider Chris Johnston’s latest trade board for The Athletic<\/a>. Furthermore, The Athletic’s Fluto Shinzawa recently wrote <\/a>that the Bruins could be open to moving Peeke if it helps their prospect pool.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Due to this, let’s look at three potential trade fits for Peeke if the Bruins end up moving him.<\/p>\n Dallas Stars<\/p>\n The Stars stand out as a team that could pursue Peeke. When looking at the Stars’ current blueline, it is clear that their right side could use a boost. If the Stars added Peeke, he would give them another solid option to work with on their bottom pairing and penalty kill.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh Penguins<\/p>\n The Penguins have been a nice surprise this season and could be buyers at the deadline because of it. One of their top needs is another right-shot defenseman, so it would be understandable if they made a push for Peeke. At 27 years old, Peeke could be a nice fit on a team focused on the future like the Penguins. This is especially so if Peeke signed a contract extension with Pittsburgh as part of the deal.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Edmonton Oilers<\/p>\n The Oilers should be looking to bring in another right-shot defenseman with experience ahead of the deadline. If they acquired Peeke, he would provide them with a bit of an upgrade over Ty Emberson for their third pairing. With the Oilers’ defense having its struggles this season, adding a defensive defenseman like Peeke to their depth could certainly benefit them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While the Boston Bruins currently hold the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference, defenseman Andrew Peeke…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":463959,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5099],"tags":[1715,154,95,5132,530,6865,147,2217,146,5,4,100,4702],"class_list":{"0":"post-463958","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-bruins","8":"tag-andrew-peeke","9":"tag-boston","10":"tag-boston-bruins","11":"tag-bostonbruins","12":"tag-bruins","13":"tag-chris-johnston","14":"tag-dallas-stars","15":"tag-eastern-conference","16":"tag-edmonton-oilers","17":"tag-hockey","18":"tag-nhl","19":"tag-pittsburgh-penguins","20":"tag-ty-emberson"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116099895584913929","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
