Kris Russell & David Jones :
Quote:
With the Penguins acquisition of Justin Schultz it's safe to say they're no longer in the mix. Logic suggests the Bruins are now the favorites, but obviously other teams are involved as well.
To me the Bruins are a team that makes a lot of sense. They've been looking to add to their blue line all season and obviously they think adding Russell would do that for them.
They also have two 1st round picks, a 2nd round pick, and a highly skilled prospect that seems to have fallen out of favor in Alex Khoklachev. Suffice to say they certainly have the assets to pay the expected premium it'll take to land Russell.
Don't expect David Jones, if traded, to fetch more than a 4th or 5th round pick. Teddy Purcell, for example, has put up more than double the points and only fetched a 3rd rounder.
