Bruins seek trade partner for Henri Jokiharju after one game
Summary

The Boston Bruins are actively pursuing a trade partner for defenseman Henri Jokiharju following the team's only game of the season. Don Sweeney, the Bruins' general manager, confirmed efforts to move Jokiharju after he cleared waivers and was assigned to the Providence Bruins. The 27-year-old has struggled to secure a consistent spot on the NHL roster, playing in only half of the Bruins' games last season. Sweeney noted that the team's depth contributed to Jokiharju's waiver status, and he faces challenges due to a cap hit that complicates potential trades. The Bruins' decision highlights their focus on maintaining a competitive lineup moving forward.
