The Bruins May Be Stealing San Jose Sharks Captain
Logan Couture, captain of the San Jose Sharks, is at the center of trade speculation as the team continues its rebuilding efforts.
Lyle Richardson of The Hockey News has raised questions about his future.
The Boston Bruins have emerged as potential suitors for Couture, presenting a mutually beneficial opportunity as the Bruins would get their number one center and the Sharks would get pieces to help with their rebuild. The Sharks have been shedding veterans, and at 34 years old, Couture's $8 million annual contract may make him expendable.
Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff also sees Couture as a prime trade candidate. The Sharks are unlikely to contend in the remaining years of his contract, given their recent roster changes.
Couture's recent performance, with 67 points in the last season, adds to his appeal. His trade value is arguably at its peak within his current contract.
Couture has expressed a desire to play for a winning team, which aligns with Boston's aspirations. This potential trade could benefit both teams as they seek to reshape their futures in the NHL.
