Bruins weren’t in on any serious Dubois trade talks
Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now: The Boston Bruins weren’t part of any of the serious
Pierre-Luc Dubois trade talks. A source said that Bruins only really had exploratory talks and never got involved in serious talks.
One reason that may have complicated things for the Bruins would have been that Dubois’ contract would be up at the same time as
Patrice Bergeron, Jake DeBrusk, Charilie McAvoy and a few others. They would have also had to consider the Seattle expansion draft.
The starting asking price for the Blue Jackets may have been one of
David Pastrnak,
Charlie McAvoy or
Jack Studnicka.
Having Dubois, Bergeron and Studnicka down the middle would have been nice though.
