Bruins Eye Flyers' Tippett for Scoring Punch
17 Jun
Summary
- Bruins seek a top-six winger with proven scoring ability.
- Flyers winger Owen Tippett is a reported trade target for Boston.
- Tippett has a contract through 2032 with a $6.2 million cap hit.
The Boston Bruins are prioritizing the acquisition of a top-six winger to bolster their offense this summer. Owen Tippett, currently with the Philadelphia Flyers, has been identified as a significant trade target for the Bruins. This interest is not surprising given Tippett's consistent goal-scoring ability.
In the past season, Tippett recorded 28 goals and 51 points in 81 games for the Flyers. He has achieved at least 20 goals in each of his last four seasons, highlighting his offensive prowess. This makes him an attractive option for Boston's second line and power play.
Tippett is under contract through the 2031-32 season, with a $6.2 million cap hit. His long-term commitment would provide the Bruins with a stable offensive contributor for many years, should a trade materialize. The Flyers are reportedly open to discussing Tippett in a 'hockey' trade but are not actively shopping him.
