Th9is is from a Bruin fan called MeisterBruinmaker. Not bad, especially for a Bruin fan.

Market Dynamics: Any of San Jose, Chicago, Montreal, Tampa Bay or the New York Rangers could join the ranks of the sellers. Also, note the number of teams looking for defensemen & scoring help, then think about what they have for assets to offer in a trade. In particular, blueliners are in heavy demand and will no doubt command a steeper price. Due to the fact that the quality of defensemen isn't very high, teams will have to overpay.
