Eastern Conference Powerhouse Reportedly Out On Mark Scheifele
Mark Scheifele has been a name that has been rumored to be on the trade market all summer long. The Winnipeg Jets have come up short the last several years and are possibly looking to re-tool their roster. According to a source, one Eastern Conference team that was a favorite to secure Scheifele is now out.
Boston Out On Scheifele
The Boston Bruins have been looking to add to their forward group this summer after centers Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci retired. Many had thought that Mark Scheifele could be an option.
According to Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet who recently wrote online about Scheifele, this is unlikely to happen via trade though. He says that the biggest hurdle to getting a deal done is the Bruins' lack of assets that would interest the Jets in a package for the star center.
Scheifele Could Still Be A Bruin Eventually
Even though Scheifele is an unlikely trade candidate for the Bruins there are still rumors they could acquire him in the long run. According to sources, the Bruins would still be one of the top destinations to look out for if Mark Scheifele eventually makes it to free agency.
