Bruins captain Brand Marchand found himself as a surprise face on trade boards. Marchand is in the final year of his contract and the Bruins haven’t been able to sign an extension with their captain.

Team Canada had their first practice for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off on Feb. 10. Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand was a participant at it, and he skated on a line that has the potential to thrive during the tournament.

BOSTON — In the NHL, trade season always starts with a single deal. One move that announces that teams are ready to make moves. Once that domino falls, the rumors get louder and the tension in dressing rooms around the leagues gets a little higher.

Brad Marchand is one of the greatest Bruins ever, but it may be time for the team to explore options at the 2025 trade deadline.
