Look: Avs GM Sakic, Bruins GM Sweeney catch up in Boston

It's that time of year.

With the trade deadline slightly over two-and-a-half weeks away, who's where and who's talking to who will take on added significance. And on Sunday, Colorado Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic decided not to watch his team lose in Brooklyn, instead attending the Bruins-Montreal Canadiens tilt in Boston.

Sakic caught up with Bruins GM Don Sweeney during the second intermission, according to The Boston Globe's Fluto Shinzawa.

What's that? Pics or it didn't happen? Here:

That Sakic is trying to trade Matt Duchene and/or Gabriel Landeskog is the worst-kept secret in hockey. The Bruins have been linked to the Avs' sale, reportedly unwilling to part with young defenseman Brandon Carlo in a trade.

To have been a fly on that wall.
