A new information has just appeared on the trade market, to the effect that the Boston Bruins would be interested in adding a defensive defenseman to their roster that is already running at full speed. As reported by tipster Chris Johnston on TSN 1050, Joel Edmundson is reportedly a target for the Boston club ahead of the trade deadline. <q>He's the type of player that fits the Bruins style of play and is a proven playoff warrior. What's also attractive to Boston is that Edmundson has a $3.5 million salary impact with another year on his contract, which would make him a valuable trade and not just a rental. - Chris Johnston</q> <b>Could Edmundson really be sent to Boston?</b> The idea seems quite credible, especially since he would fit in very well with the needs that need to be filled, as well as add a dose of leadership to a locker room that already has a ton of it with Patrice Bergeron. We can only hope that the 29-year-old veteran returns healthy after the Habs long 10-day break, and that opposing teams will be interested in his services. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhltraderumours/status/1620463234510737408'> </a></blockquote></div>
