He's not exactly what they need for the playoffs this year, as he is an unproven commodity at the NHL level, but he is exactly what is needed in BOS for the future, to compete with Studnicka, Coyle and the like for a middle six C spot. In the past I think some saw that the window for the B's might be closing with Chara, Rask and Bergeron aging out, but it's possible that they won't have to bottom out due to MacAvoy, Pasta, and Swayman's play. His familiarity with Boston has to be a plus.
2nd and a small plus(2023 3rd/4th?) I would guess that Guerin would prefer that he goes to the east. He might get offers from teams that would have higher picks like MTL or PHI, so that was my thinking on the add.
I have no idea if McBain has BOS on the list of teams he has told BG he would be willing to sign with.
