This season hasn't been a perfect one for the Boston Bruins, and with the trade deadline approaching, insider Chris Johnston is one of many that see this team as a potential seller, with plenty of speculation around their captain over the past few weeks.
While this doesn't mean they're actively shopping players like Brad Marchand, the speculation has been out there for quite some time, with the team potentially looking to move on from their captain ahead of his pending free agency this summer.
No. 63 is currently focused on bonding with his Canadian teammates, but the word of his potential trade has seemingly reached him, as he has now addressed the possibility that he could be moved for the first time in his career.
While it may be a possibility to the media and the fans, it doesn't appear as though Marchand is too worried about a move, stating that given the relationship he's built with the organization over the years, he doesn't see a trade happening.
Currently, Boston sit two spots and just one point out of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference, and while trading Marchand seems unthinkable, it's something they must consider if they don't get back into a playoff spot, and with the captain potentially ready to move on in the summer, it's something to definitely keep an eye on over the next month.
