from Caryn Switaj of BostonBruins.com,
"... you don’t wish one of these d-men to be traded, but we just have too many d-men. So at some point I’m going to have to do it, and most of the teams in the League will like one of these defensemen. And I know everybody’s wondering 'will he make a move?' 'will he make a move?' but I’m going to see what’s going to happen, see who fits well with whom."
The trade market right now is "pretty good," according to Chiarelli, and has been that way all summer.
"I've said that I'm looking to trade a defenseman, but I'm very eager to see the competition," he said. "There's spots, there are no restrictions - if I have to open with eight D, I can, so there's no real pressing need to do it, other than it's not ideal."
The Bruins nearly opened last season with eight defensemen, before Kevan Miller was the final cut.
"Seven spots ideally, but I could carry eight."
