Longtime rival of the Boston Bruins involved in blockbuster trade underway
Boston Bruins' biggest Original Six rival now set to complete a blockbuster trade this offseason, and it's not what you'd expect.
The Boston Bruins, alongside the majority of organization's within the National Hockey League, are seeking to complete their offseason moves as fast as possible in preparation for the upcoming 2025/26 NHL season.
With that, there are only a few weeks left before the NHL season begins, meaning these organizations need to get these offseason moves completed.
And one blockbuster move that is expected to erupt within the National Hockey League and
According to a well-trusted insider, Marco D'Amico, three teams are in the running to acquire one of the biggest
all-time rivals of the Boston Bruins.
The NHL analyst revealed that the Chicago Blackhawks, San Jose Sharks, and Pittsburgh Penguins are suitable destinations.
"Carey Price's contract should be traded this upcoming week, with sources suggesting San Jose, Chicago or Pittsburgh as destinations.
The Canadiens are trading Price's contract to open themselves to the possibility of another trade.
Timing on that is TBD."
In the eyes of Boston Bruins general manager
Don Sweeney, he's witnessing another franchise great being dealt after he traded away his own in
Brad Marchand at this past March 7th NHL trade deadline.
According to analyst Jean-Charles Lajoie, Price will be dealt today, September 1st.
"#CH fans, be on the lookout. The costly September 1st will see C Price's contract move elsewhere. K Hughes is reportedly willing to trade picks, especially in the first round, to add a natural center to his roster. A complex but effective deal, just like the GM likes, is in the making. The Western Conference is one to watch... And it's all very exciting! 25-26 will be a fascinating season!!"

As the Canadiens enter their final stages of their rebuild, this cap relief will give them large funds to acquire top-end talent.
If Don Sweeney wants to compete with his longtime rivals, he may have to make a cap clearing trade himself to free up funds.
