There were a lot of rumours leading up to the NHL trade deadline this year involving the Boston Bruins possibly moving on from forward Morgan Geekie, but they opted to keep him. Now an NHL insider may have just revealed his fate with the organization moving forward.
With how inconsistent the Boston Bruins have been this year, it lead to a lot of players being involved in trade rumours, and Morgan Geekie was one of the players that found his name in a lot of rumours.
The Bruins have been outside of a playoff spot for most of the year which caused a lot of these rumours, and the fact that President Cam Neely openly admitted that the Bruins could be sellers at the NHL trade deadline just ramped up the rumours.
Don Sweeney decided to move on from a bunch of big named players at the NHL trade deadline, but decided to hang on to Morgan Geekie.
The trade deadline came as a shock to many Bruins fans, and fans around the league as they ended up trading Brandon Carlo, Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, Trent Frederic, and Justin Brazeau.
Morgan Geekies Fate May Be Confirmed
After going through the NHL trade deadline, and not being traded, an NHL insider may have just revealed Morgan Geekie's fate with the organization for next year.
NHL Trade Rumors has Morgan Geekie listed as the top candidate to earn a contract extension with the Boston Bruins in the off-season.
Geekie got off to a slow start this season with the Boston Bruins, but his recently found chemistry with David Pastrnak may be enough for him to earn a contract extension.
Since the slow start, Geekie has been on a heater setting a new career high in goals with 23, and on pace to set a new career high in points. His previous career high in points was 39, and he currently sits at 37 with 13 games remaining.
Geekie has blossomed into a very important part of the Bruins' roster this season, so it would not be surprising if they extended the 26-year-old forward. He has found a home on the Bruins' first line with David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha and is having a strong season because of it. In 64 games, he has scored a career-high 24 goals and has 37 points.
