Brian mocks together a combination of trades and signings that he feels could be reasonable moves the Bruins could try to execute this summer! 

The goal here wasn't to fantasy book. 

It was to approach the exercise from Don Sweeney's perspective - trying to improve the present without mortgaging too much of the future.

How can the Bruins strike a balance between continuing to build for the future while optimizing the primes of David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy? 

Should the Bruins be aggressive or patient? And if the latter, would their top players be willing to be as patient or could they follow the lead of other star players around the league asking for trades?

The task of retooling / rebuilding simultaneously to the prime of top players seems to be a near impossible task in terms of keeping all parties happy.

Sacrifices are needed by one or both sides - but who will be willing to bend?
