With the trade deadline quickly approaching on Feb. 27, the rumor mill has been churning in full force.
The latest gossip has the Bruins dealing defenseman Brad Stuart to the New Jersey Devils. Stuart, whom Boston acquired from San Jose in the three-player trade for Joe Thornton last season, will be an unrestricted free agent in July, and there's been talk Stuart wants out of Boston. On the surface that transaction doesn't make sense because why would Chiarelli deal a top-two defenseman to a team within the conference.
An industry source said yesterday that's all it is, a rumor. It's likely, the Bruins will deal Stuart for the right price and acquisitions.
