Going to make this short and sweet then you all can have at it.

Bruins are going to pretty quiet at the deadline and the recent spike in price for Toffoli makes any of those trades a write off.

For these trades shown below, I can't see both of them happening, let alone 1 of them.

Thornton would have to actually want to return to the Bruins, and if so the Bruins should/would not pay more than a 3rd and a low level prospect. However, if he pulls a 2013 Iginla and requests a specific team to be traded to and it so happens to be the Bruins, it could work out in their favour.

For the Wood/Heinen trade, it is nothing we haven't seen speculated before. Both of these players only have 7 goals on the year and only a handful of assists separate them. I'm looking at Wood as the poor man's Kreider, straight ahead speed with much less finish but would bring some simplicity to the 3rd line. Bruins would be losing Heinen's two way ability but Wood isn't too far off in terms of defensive play and time spent on the PK unit. I would be shocked if Sweeney made this move just because I can't remember him ever making a true 1 for 1 trade but stranger things have happened.

All this being said, don't look for the Bruins to spend any more than a 3rd rd pick this TDL unless it is a trade they can't refuse.
