Bruins discussed bringing back former fan favorite
General manager Don Sweeney had one of, if not the best Trade Deadline in league this season, but according to one insider, they almost made one more move that would've made fans very happy.
Per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, one rumour he heard was that the Bruins and Calgary Flames discussed a Milan Lucic trade, bringing the big man back to Boston.
''The wildest one I actually heard, and it obviously didn't happen, was Lucic and Boston, about the possibility of him going and having one last ride with the Bruins. I don't know if it even happened. Someone said to me they heard that rumour, but I don't know if that even happened.''

Lucic is in the final year of his $6 million AAV contract that he signed with the Edmonton Oilers back in 2016. The 34-year-old currently has 5 goals and 9 assists in 60 games with the Flames this season.
Looch was originally drafted by Boston in 2006, with whom he spent the first eight years of his career with. A reunion would have made this season even more special. It's too bad something couldn't have worked out.
