Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney has stated that the team is likely to find a trade partner for prospect Andre Gasseau, according to Jim McBride of the Boston Globe. Sweeney provided the update at the NHL Draft Combine, noting that Gasseau is currently scheduled to become a free agent this summer.
Gasseau was a seventh-round selection (213th overall) by the Bruins in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. Per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, the San Jose Sharks are a potential destination for the forward, with the possibility of the team signing him once a trade is completed.
The 21-year-old forward has spent the last two seasons playing for Boston College. By seeking a trade now, the Bruins aim to move his rights before his eligibility expires this summer. No official deal has been announced by either club at this time.
