Trent Frederic is a prime trade candidate for the Bruins. The 2016 first-round pick has been discussed often in the rumor mill, and his pending unrestricted free-agent status is a significant reason behind it.

Former Boston Bruins forward Taylor Hall is a pending unrestricted free agent on the struggling Chicago Blackhawks. With this, there have naturally been trade rumors surrounding the veteran. While speaking with reporters, Hall was honest about the possibility of being traded by Chicago.
