Brad Marchand Finally Speaks On Trade Rumors As The Bruins Captain Could Be Moved
The Boston Bruins are outside of a playoff spot, fueling trade speculation as the team could be sellers, and Brad Marchand finally addressed those rumblings.
The Boston Bruins aren't having their dream season, and with the trade deadline coming up, insiders like Chris Johnston and others view them as potential sellers. There's been speculation in recent times about captain Brad Marchand.
The Bruins likely won't be dealing Marchand, though there's been speculation that they would send him packing in time for his contract's expiry this offseason.
The veteran forward is more interested in getting to know Team Canada these days, though he's been privy to trading rumors and just publicly weighed in on it for the first time.
"I think I'd feel very weird...probably a little lost...I don't really think about it cause it's not something that I really see happening"

All of the rumblings and chatter on the outside, though, is not keeping Marchand up at night. He feels his lengthy stay in the organization means a departure is unlikely.
Boston is just a point shy of a wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference at this time of year.
As a shocking move, trading Marchand would be unthinkable, though if the team is not in playoff position when it matters and he's going to walk in free agency, the Bruins would be in a bind in the coming weeks.
We will all get clarity in less than a month, as the deadline to move Marchand will be on March 7th.
