Bruins fine-tuning draft plans

With four days remaining until Friday’s draft in Los Angeles, the Bruins are preparing to draft Tyler Seguin or Taylor Hall with the No. 2 selection. GM Peter Chiarelli has spoken with Edmonton counterpart Steve Tambellini regarding a deal — the Oilers would retain the top pick, but acquire an asset from the Bruins, who could then choose between Seguin or Hall — but made it sound like no trade was close.

The Bruins will most likely draft Seguin after the Oilers choose Hall.

“I spoke with Steve over the weekend,” said Chiarelli. “We didn’t really discuss that in any detail. After speaking with Steve, I think he’s probably as close as we are. He has these two guys very close as we do. Neither of us really committed to moving forward in that kind of discussion. We spoke briefly over the weekend, and I imagine we’ll talk again. But if the draft were tonight, I’d say there’d be no deal.”
