Insider claims Boston Bruins considering trading captain Brad Marchand
NHL insider Chris Johnston dropped a bombshell rumor about the Boston Bruins potentially trading captain Brad Marchand.

Marchand, who has spent his entire NHL career with the Bruins, is in the midst of contract negotiations with the franchise.

On Thursday, TSN analyst Johnston posted an update on X.

“While the #bruins continue to go back and forth with Brad Marchand on a possible contract extension, word is they’re still open to potentially trading their captain: Teams calling with interest aren’t being told ‘no’ right now.”

Marchand’s eight-year, $49 million contract with the Bruins expires at the end of the season. The 36-year-old is currently sidelined with an upper-body injury and is week-to-week, according to Bruins’ coach Joe Sacco.

Analysts have been speculating about potential trade destinations for Marchand all week, with the Vegas Golden Knights, the Edmonton Oilers and the Colorado Avalanche at the top of the list. Marchand himself had made his preference to stay with the Bruins clear back in February.
