Don Sweeney Getting Multiple Calls Regarding This Bruin
Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk's name continues to circulate in NHL trade discussions. As teams trim their rosters in preparation for the 2023-24 season, they're also evaluating trade possibilities to manage their cap space.
An NHL scout from the Northeast shared, "Chatter is increasing as I scout preseason games. Teams are looking for young talents who can step up."
In his first NHL preseason appearance, 21-year-old rookie defenseman Mason Lohrei impressed with a remarkable 29:01 minutes of ice time, contributing to a goal in a game against the Buffalo Sabres.
Lohrei's standout performance raises questions about a potential trade involving 29-year-old defenseman Matt Grzelcyk, who has a $3.6 million salary cap hit in the final year of his contract. Teams like the Chicago Blackhawks, in need of a player like Grzelcyk, could be potential trade partners.
The upcoming Bruins season opener against the Blackhawks on Oct. 11 could see former teammates facing off, adding intrigue to the situation. If emerging talents like Lohrei continue to shine, Bruins' General Manager Don Sweeney may explore the NHL trade market to create cap space.
