Various reports around the league point to the fact that he Marcus Johansson has been speaking to other teams, both to gauge their interest and determine a value he’s happy to agree to. The Boston Bruins aren’t one of those teams:
Marcus Johansson is talking with several teams today and none of them Boston. Looks like he will have a new home tomorrow.

Obviously, this is a disappointment. Since coming over to the Boston Bruins at the trade deadline, Marcus Johansson shone alongside Charlie Coyle and Danton Heinen on what became one of the best third-line groupings across the entire Stanley Cup Playoffs.
