During the NHL trade deadline last year, Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney ended up trading captain Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers.
Many other notable names ended up getting traded as well, but this move ended up shocking not just the Bruins fan base, but also the hockey community in general.
After making this trade, the Boston Bruins ended up going the remainder of the season without a captain.
There was a lot of speculation entering the off-season on who was going to be named the next captain for the Boston Bruins.
Heading into next season they might name a new player as captain, and a unexpected player is in the lead to land this honour.
David Pastrnak to be the next captain of the Boston Bruins?
When speaking about who is going to be the next captain of the Boston Bruins organization, this is what Michael DeRosa of The Hockey News had to say:
Who do you believe will be named the Bruins' captain?
There is an argument to be made for both Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy when it comes to the Bruins' captaincy. Pastrnak is the Bruins' top superstar and has emerged as a big leader in their room, especially with the club trading away several former core players. Yet, the same can be said about McAvoy, as he is the heart of the Bruins' defense and has been a great leader in their room for quite some time.
However, if I had to pick between the two, I think Pastrnak will end up rocking the 'C' for the Bruins. He is now entering his 12th season with the Black and Gold and is the player they are building around as they continue their retool.

Leading into the off-season, it seemed like a lot of fans were leaning more towards Charlie McAvoy to be the captain of the Boston Bruins.
Regardless, which ever way the Boston Bruins decide to go when naming a captain, they will be in good hands moving forward.
