A major turn of events has surfaced in the Boston Bruins organization trading captain Brad Marchand at the NHL trade deadline.
With how the Boston Bruins' season has gone, there has been a lot of talks surrounding captain Brad Marchand's future with the team.
Recently there has been a lot of trade rumours linking Brad Marchand to the Edmonton Oilers, but now there has been a surprising twist.
Multiple trusted insiders have revealed that Brad Marchand has gained interest from the Edmonton Oilers, and with the Bruins possibly re-tooling at the NHL trade deadline, this makes a lot of sense.
Brad Marchand would be able to fetch the Bruins a big return, and would be able to drastically speed up the Bruins "re-tool," and with him aging, it wouldn't be the worst idea.
Brad Marchand is now 36 and is expected to be a unrestricted free agent at the end of the year, as his $6.125 million contract is set to expire.
He is still producing at just below a point-per-game player, and if the Bruins were to trade him, now would definitely be the time before he starts to regress.
