Top NHL Insider Believes Brad Marchand Will Leave the Boston Bruins Due to Contract Dispute
NHL insider Nick Kypreos has gone on the record stating that Brad Marchand will likely leave the Bruins this summer.
The Boston Bruins season has had a lot of major swings this year.
Things started off poorly, leading the organization to part ways with head coach Jim Montgomery.
Since then, things have gone somewhat better for the team, as they have worked their way back into a playoff spot.
However, the team is still a shell of their former selves and their spot in the playoffs is far from secured.
If anything, their grasp on the playoffs remains tenuous at best. This is in part due to the performance of Brad Marchand.
The Bruins captain has certainly had a down year, collecting 15 goals and 33 points through 45 games, his worst scoring rate in a decade.
According to NHL insider Nick Kypreos, the team remains invested in the captain and wants to bring him back next season, but at this point cost and contract term could be an issue
Kypreos went on to explain how Marchand uses the same agency Steven Stamkos does, implying that the Bruins captain could sign elsewhere if he does not get a contract offer he loves from the team.
The insider does admit that the Bruins and Marchand will likely come to an agreement, but the same thing could have been said about Stamkos and the Lightning last season and we all know how that turned out.
Will the Bruins captain become one of the biggest free agent options this summer or will he re-sign with the Bruins before the July 1st deadline? Stay tuned to find out.
