With the NHL trade deadline less than 24 hours away, the Bruins are still reportedly weighing the franchise-shifting decision of trading away captain Brad Marchand.
The Athletic’s Chris Johnston reported Thursday that while both the Bruins and Marchand have continued to hold contract negotiations, Boston is still taking calls on the 36-year-old winger.
“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,” Johnston posted on X. “Teams calling with interest aren’t being told ‘no’ right now.”
Marchand is currently “week to week” with an upper-body injury he suffered during Saturday’s road win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
