However, given the Bruins' current cap situation, they may need to move an NHL roster player if they hope to make a trade. Because of this, forward Morgan Geekie is standing out as a prime potential trade candidate.

With the Maple Leafs injured and the Bruins struggling at the quarter mark of the season, the two teams could be a strong match for a trade.
