An Emotional David Pastrnak Makes his Feelings Extremely Clear on the Trade Deadline Changes In Boston

The past week has no doubt been an emotional rollercoaster in Boston, with the team ending a tough trade deadline by moving their captain Brad Marchand, who was traded to the division rival Florida Panthers for what many believe was a poor return.

After the moves, many believed that the Bruins hopes were dashed in 2024/25, but after a 4-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, their playoff hopes are alive and well despite the immense competition in the Eastern Conference.

However, this is a team that's clearly lost plenty of talent, with star forward David Pastrnak being one of the only key pieces remaining on the team, and now, he's addressed the significant changes that he's seen.

A clearly emotional Pastrnak confirms that there's still a belief in the locker room, but without longtime teammates Marchand, Trent Frederic, Brandon Carlo and Charlie Coyle, it's looking a whole lot different in Boston.

That makes the next few months even more important in Boston, as the results for the remainder of the year and free agent moves could impact the future of Pastrnak, but for now, it's safe to say that this isn't what he signed up for when he inked a long-term deal with the Bruins.
