The Boston Bruins traded for forward JJ Peterka from the Utah Mammoth just before the 2026 NHL Draft. In return, the Mammoth received two first-round draft picks, one for 2026 and another for 2028 with top-10 protection. Peterka, who struggled in Utah, recorded 25 goals and 47 points last season. The trade positions the Bruins to strengthen their roster following a first-round playoff exit. Analysts have given the Bruins a grade of B- for the trade, citing the high cost, while the Mammoth received a grade of B+ for acquiring valuable draft assets.
