It’s no secret that New York Rangers<\/a> general manager Chris Drury was looking for a significant return for star forward Vincent Trocheck<\/a> ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline<\/a> \u2014 a return so significant that he ended up holding onto the gold medalist for at least the remainder of the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

Multiple teams reportedly made strong offers to pry the center out of Broadway, including the Boston Bruins<\/a>. But the price was just too high<\/a>, as The Boston Globe’s Kevin Paul Dupont reported earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Dupont wrote that, despite talks between Drury and Bruins general manager Don Sweeney, the two sides could not agree on a deal that satisfied both parties before last Friday at 3 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

Specifically, Dupont reports that the Blueshirts were looking for either top prospect Fraser Minten and a first-round pick, or Minten, forward Mark Kastelic and either a first or second-round selection.<\/p>\n

Minten has been solid with the Bruins this year after being part of the return from the Maple Leafs that sent Brandon Carlo to Toronto last season. The 21-year-old, who was selected 38th overall in the 2022 NHL Draft, has managed 14 goals and 29 points in 64 games. He has long-term upside and is viewed as a key piece of Boston’s future.<\/p>\n

Kastelic, 27, is a reliable bottom-six center who has chipped in 18 points in 64 games, along with 112 penalty minutes. Pairing the two players, along with significant draft capital, would have been a gamble for a player who is already in his early 30s.<\/p>\n

Instead of paying the king’s ransom the Rangers were seeking, the Bruins were relatively quiet, acquiring speedy forward Lukas Reichel from the Vancouver Canucks in return for a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

Boston didn’t improve much, but they remain right in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race. Following a 2-1 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, the Bruins are 36-22-6 and occupying the second wildcard berth<\/a> in the conference with 18 games left in their regular-season.<\/p>\n

They return to action for another critical tilt against the San Jose Sharks at TD Garden on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s no secret that New York Rangers general manager Chris Drury was looking for a significant return for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499916,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5099],"tags":[154,95,5132,530,5,35,4,107,4303,548],"class_list":{"0":"post-499915","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-bruins","8":"tag-boston","9":"tag-boston-bruins","10":"tag-bostonbruins","11":"tag-bruins","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-new-york-rangers","14":"tag-nhl","15":"tag-nhl-rumors","16":"tag-nhl-stories","17":"tag-nhl-trade-deadline"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116217552839686285","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499915","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=499915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499915\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
