Mason Lohrei drawing trade interest, RG.org reports

The defenseman carries a $3.2 million cap hit.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 71 min read

What happened: The 25-year-old remains with the Boston Bruins entering training camp after months of offseason trade chatter. He is scheduled to become a restricted free agent after the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: A move could let Boston redirect a young roster asset toward another position of need. A late-August trade pitch involving Lohrei drew 92% support from PuckGM voters.

By the numbers: Boston has nine signed defensemen who played in the NHL last season, creating a crowded competition for roster spots.

What to watch: Training camp will test whether Lohrei secures a regular role or remains available in trade talks.
