The Boston Bruins may consider trading captain Brad Marchand as they struggle to stay in playoff contention. Insiders suggest that if the Bruins fall further behind, they could explore trade options, especially if they retain some salary. The Philadelphia Flyers are reportedly clearing salary cap space to prepare for a significant offseason move. Recent trades involving Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee indicate a shift in their roster strategy, aiming for flexibility in future acquisitions. The Montreal Canadiens are likely to become sellers ahead of the trade deadline due to a losing streak. Players like Jake Evans and Christian Dvorak are seen as potential trade assets to maximize returns. Meanwhile, the Carolina Hurricanes are expected to offer Mikko Rantanen a contract exceeding $100 million.
