This week problems have ramped up with the Boston Bruins. The biggest situation revolves around defenseman Derek Forbort. Last week Forbort reportedly missed a meeting which led to him being scratched from the lineup against the Seattle Kraken.

With his missed meeting combined with his poor play in recent weeks any goodwill he has built up over the season has disappeared. With his lack of support in Boston trade rumors are continuing to skyrocket.

A new report this afternoon from Jimmy Murphy who covers the Boston Bruins has put Derek Forbort's future in Boston in doubt. Murphy says he would not be surprised to see Forbort on a new team by the time the trade deadline passes.

Given his recent play and now this, I wouldn't be surprised to see Forbort on a new team by the March 8, 3 p.m. ET NHL Trade Deadline.


As of now, specific teams looking to trade for Forbort have not been announced. Once the deadline gets closer these reports will likely surface. As reports do come out we will pass them along to you.
