Four Nations Revealed A Major Development In Boston Bruins Brad Marchand Being Traded
Even though forward Brad Marchand doesn't think he'll be traded by the Boston Bruins, he's generated a lot of interest in the NHL.
One of those teams who has expressed interest in acquiring the former Stanley Cup-winning forward is the Colorado Avalanche.
The Avalanche have an interesting connection to Marchand through Nova Scotia and Nathan MacKinnon.
While the notion that Marchand could wear Avalanche colors sounds daunting, it could very well be a possibility if the team misses the playoffs this season.
With Cale Makar signing his praises, who can tell what will happen next?
We know that Marchand and MacKinnon train together regularly during the offseason. That's how they've maintained their friendship throughout the years.
Though we doubt they've ever discussed trades before because it'd raise red flags of possible tampering by MacKinnon.
The Avalanche have quite a loaded hand if they were to try and make it happen, as they have plenty of assets they could move for Marchand.
Landing Marchand could cost the Avalanche a promising young forward such as Calum Ritchie or Ivan Ivan or a prospect like defenseman Mikhail Gulyayev. The Bruins could seek their 2026 first-rounder in the deal or one of their second-rounders. This still all remains dependent on Cam Neely and Don Sweeney's judgment for a future retool.
The Bruins would relish the thought of gaining more salary cap space to work with and the possibility of re-signing him down the road should he fail to sign an extension with his next team.
But for now, all we can do is speculate on the team's next steps.
