BREAKING: Brad Marchand May Be On The Way Out If They Sign This UFA
Potential Roster Shake-Up: Bruins' Signing of Bertuzzi Could Result in Marchand's Departure
Significant changes loom for the Boston Bruins this offseason, as General Manager Don Sweeney emphasized that the team will not remain the same. While actively pursuing a deal with Tyler Bertuzzi despite his interest in testing free agency, the Bruins face uncertainty surrounding the returns of David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron. This situation raises the possibility of Brad Marchand being traded.
At 35 years old, Marchand carries a team-friendly cap hit and has a contract running through 2025. While many teams covet Marchand's scoring and toughness, his contract poses challenges for a potential trade.
A possible landing destination for Marchand
The Colorado Avalanche could be an intriguing destination for Marchand, especially with captain Gabriel Landeskog set to miss the 2023-24 season, opening up cap space. However, the Avalanche have their own roster priorities this summer and may not pursue Marchand unless a strong case is made, potentially through the influence of fellow Nova Scotia native Nathan MacKinnon.
As cap constraints and financial considerations come into play, the Bruins could undergo significant transformation ahead of the 2023 season.
