Rumor: Boston Bruins Looking at Trade Market To Replace Milan Lucic
The Boston Bruins are considering to terminate Milan Lucic's contract, but it looks like they'll wait before they found his replacement first.
Bruins Looking to Replace Lucic and Terminate his Contract
A reporter revealed that the Bruins could be interested in Pat Maroon.
«I'm starting to hear [Pat Maroon's] name out there. He doesn't fit in with [John] Hynes' up-tempo style and hasn't brought everything they wanted when they traded for him.»
The Wild's new head coach, John Hynes, uses a distinct system that may not capitalize on Maroon's strengths. However, Jim Montgomery's system could offer an environment in which Maroon can excel.
How Maroon Could Fill Lucic's Shoes
Similar to Milan Lucic, Maroon brings energy to every shift. While he may not be the most prolific goal-scorer, Maroon has demonstrated his ability to find the back of the net. He scored 3 goals and 11 points in 26 games, along with 20 penalty minutes with the Wild.
If the Bruins get Maroon, it would certainly compensate for Lucic's departure.
