The Bruins have had a rough summer after being eliminated in round 1 to Florida they ended up losing both Patrice Bergeron and David Krecji to retirement leaving them stranded for their top 2 center options.
The Senators are up against the cap and have one player still in restricted free agency that would be a perfect fit for the Bruins. That player being Shane Pinto.
The 22-year-old center is currently an RFA and the Senators might be willing to trade him as long as they think Ridly Greig will be a better player than Pinto.
However it seems the Bruins will have to pay a pretty penny to acquire the young center.
The young center man played his first full season in the NHL this past season, collecting 20 goals and 35 points in 82 last season.
A pretty impressive rookie showing for Pinto, but could he make the jump into the top 6 of the top 6 of the Bruins?
Pinto looked really good as the 3rd center man for the Sens last season and with a hard working summer Pinto could very well be the next top center for the Boston Bruins.
