This isn't Zibanejad's first time being linked to Boston, as trusted NHL insider, Elliotte Friedman, has also revealed the possibility of this forward becoming a Bruin.
However, one significant issue that stands in the way of the Bruins acquiring this 32-year old is Zibanejad's current contract, as he has a no-trade clause within a contract that only expires in 2030.
The Rangers do appear to be going through a re-tool process, and with the recent trade of Zibanejad's best friend, Chris Kreider, the door is now open for the forward to find a new NHL home and what better place than the Original Six Boston Bruins, and play alongside fellow Swede Elias Lindholm.
This is no Rumor, this is a reality that Bruins fans should buckle up for, as the flood gates for trades and signings when July 1st free agency kicks off.
