BHN Daily: Would A ‘Jake For Jake’ Trade Work For Bruins And Canucks?

Boston Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday against the New York Rangers but he’s also returned to the NHL Trade Rumor circuit.

Why hasn’t a Tony DeAngelo trade taken place yet?

So what’s behind the Bruins’ third period comebacks this season?

All that and more in the BHN Super Bowl Sunday Daily!

In the latest NHN and BHN ‘Off The Record’, the Bruins are once again looking into what it would take to acquire Vancouver Canucks winger Jake Virtanen who has been a healthy scratch more often than not this season. With Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk off to a slow start as well and still searching for that consistency with the B’s. Could a ‘Jake for Jake’ trade make sense?
