Since that shot across the bow, the Bruins have done little to inspire confidence that a late-season surge into the postseason is in the cards.

With the Bruins continuing to struggle, the chatter around them potentially becoming sellers only increases. Several Bruins have come up in the rumor mill but captain and pending unrestricted free agent Brad Marchand is easily the biggest name of the bunch.

Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand dismissed trade speculation surrounding his future with the franchise, although he acknowledged he has “no control” over the situation.

The Boston Bruins are struggling this season and Brad Marchand is in the final year of his deal, sparking a real possibility for a trade.

The Bruins must determine if a trade is worth the fallout of trading one of the club’s best players of all time.
