Among the teams that disappoint at the start of the season, we find the Boston Bruins, in addition to the Montreal Canadiens.
The latter also made a change of coach in the last few days by replacing Jim Montgomery with Joe Sacco.
And if the latter is not able to turn things around, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney will have important decisions to make.
Among these, there is the file Brad Marchand who will be one to watch, because the latter will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
A transaction involving Brad Marchand?
It could indeed be that Bruins management is waiting to see how the team performs between now and the trade deadline and it is possible that the Bruins’ little pest will be traded.
At least that’s the opinion of Chris Johnston, journalist for The Athletic, who believes that the organization will have choices to make and that getting rid of Brad Marchand could be one of them.
Comments which were mentioned by the informant on the site of Sports Illustrated.
“He’s not a player we expected to find on the market, even if he’s currently playing the last year of his contract.
But as one league source pointed out this week, “I don’t think anyone in Boston thought the team would be there.”
If the decision to replace Jim Montgomery with Joe Sacco behind the Bruins bench doesn’t produce the desired results, tough personnel decisions will almost certainly follow. »

With such comments, let’s say that it is rather difficult to imagine Brad Marchand in any other uniform than that of the black and yellow of the Bruins and we wonder what value he could have on the market.
It should be mentioned that Marchand is 36 years old and he has not been spared in recent years, having undergone multiple operations.
We are obviously talking here about a name and a face well known to fans of the Montreal Canadiens.
