In recent news, there has been a significant development involving Boston Bruins defenseman Jakub Zboril, who has formally requested a trade out of Boston.
According to a recent report by Frank Seravalli on Daily Faceoff, the 26-year-old defenseman is actively exploring opportunities with other NHL teams in the hope of getting a chance to play elsewhere.
This season, Zboril has contributed seven assists in 19 games with the Providence Bruins. Notably, he is currently in the final year of his two-year contract, carrying an average annual value of $1,137,500.
With trade talks on the horizon, there's a possibility that Zboril might find himself part of a deal sooner rather than later. Such a move could enable the Bruins to free up valuable salary cap space, potentially setting the stage for a more significant move.
