The Daily: Boston Bruins May Be Eyeing Red Wings’ Rentals

Marc Staal, Detroit Red Wings
The Boston Bruins are looking for a left-shot defenseman, such as Detroit Red Wings player Marc Staal

Boston Hockey Now is floating the idea that division rivals Detroit Red Wings and the Boston Bruins could be trading partners.

The Red Wings have multiple players the Bruins may want, including Marc Staal and Nick Leddy. The lure of dealing with the Red Wings is that they are willing to retain salary.  Unless competition drives the price up,  compensation for Staal should be reasonable. The Red Wings gave up a second-round pick for Leddy and probably hope to get that back.

The Detroit Red Wings also have Vladislav Namestnikov who could also add some secondary scoring to the Bruins or another team.

The Boston Bruins reportedly might be tempted to bring back Zdeno Chara. NYIslanders Hockey reports the Islanders may be ready to move defenseman Zdeno Chara to a contender.

Rumor of the Day

The Toronto Maple Leafs may have lost defenseman Jake Muzzin after a scary collision with Montreal Canadiens defenseman Chris Wideman Monday night in Montreal. If Muzzin is out for a lengthy period, it could free up some cap space. They were already looking for a defenseman.
