Bruins general manager Don Sweeney needs to conduct a going-out-of-business sale at the NHL trade deadline because his team is going nowhere. That’s true this season and beyond if he and the Bruins refuse to come to grips with their shortcomings.
The Boston Bruins could ship out a star teammate of Brad Marchand after the Calgary Flames reached out about a deal ahead of the NHL trade deadline.
The Bruins announced on Tuesday afternoon that Trent Frederic and Max Jones have been traded to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick, a 2026 fourth-round pick, and defenseman Max Wanner.
Brad Marchand is week to week for the Boston Bruins because of an upper-body injury.
For the first time in more than a decade, the Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney are ready to prioritize the future over short-term gains — with Boston poised to sell ahead of Friday’s NHL trade deadline.
