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.
