NHL Insider Revealed Three Boston Bruins Players That Will Be Returning Next Year

The Bruins were one of the only teams to make seriously drastic changes during the NHL trade deadline, trading away many big named players, and leaders on the team.

Brad Marchand being traded by the Boston Burins was probably the biggest shocker at the NHL trade deadline. There were many rumours about it, but no one believed that Don Sweeney was going to trade his captain, but he did.

Now the Boston Bruins are a very different looking team after trading away other players like Brandon Carlo, Justin Brazeau, Trent Frederic, and Charlie Coyle, but added multiple younger, faster, and more skilled players along with some prospects, and picks.

With that being said, an NHL insider revealed three players that are going to land an extension with the Boston Bruins.

NHL Trade Rumors revealed three players that more then likely are going to earn themselves an extension with the Boston Bruins.

Geekie has become a big part of the Boston Bruins top six this year, and has easily earned himself a contract extension with the Boston Bruins, especially with the chemistry he has built with David Pastrnak. Geekie has a career high in goals this year with 24, along with 37 points in 64 games.

Lohrei has been super impressive this year, and has become a serious candidate to take over the number 1 power play for the Boston Bruins with how well him and Pastrnak feed off of each other. Lohrei is a RFA, and will definitely be in for a pay raise from the Boston Bruins.

In 64 games this season, Lohrei has new career highs in both goals with five, assists with 24, and points with 29.

Jokiharju, since coming over from the Buffalo Sabres at the NHL trade deadline, has found himself a home with the Boston Bruins, and has been solid for them playing on the top defensive pairing. Jokiharju has even stated that he is open to having conversations in the off-season with the Boston Bruins regarding a contract extension.
