What happened: RG says the Boston Bruins are fielding calls rather than actively shopping the defenseman. Training camp opens Sept. 16.
Why it matters: A surplus of left-shot defensemen gives Boston room to consider a move before the 2026-27 season. A deal could turn that depth into help elsewhere in the lineup.
By the numbers: The defenseman improved from minus-43 in 2024-25 to plus-17 in 2025-26. His two-year, $6.4 million deal runs through 2026-27 before restricted free agency with arbitration rights.
What to watch: The next test is whether the interest advances into concrete negotiations before camp.
