A Major Development In The Boston Bruins Healthy Scratching Multiple Forwards Due To Trade Reasons

This is a move a lot of NHL teams do whenever the trade deadline approaches as they don't want to risk their trade candidates getting injured, and recently we saw this happen with the Nashville Predators as they healthy scratched Gustav Nyquist, and then he was later traded in the same day.

The New York Rangers are also currently doing this with former Boston Bruins forward as Reilly Smith is being healthy scratched for trade reasons.

This is the second game in a row that Reilly Smith is going to be healthy scratched, and a move is more then likely to take place soon or at the NHL trade deadline.

Today, a Boston Bruins insider stated that he thinks the Boston Bruins should be holding Morgan Geekie and Justin Brazeau out of the lineup for their next two games just in case they want to make a trade, and do not risk injuring them.

Both Geekie, and Brazeau have been involved in a lot of trade rumours this season, and a lot of reports have suggested that they may be on the move at the NHL trade deadline.

Holding them out for health reasons would be a great move by Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney.
