Bruins Likely Ready to Part Ways With Expensive Center, Per Insider
The Boston Bruins landed Casey Mittelstadt at the 2025 trade deadline, but now it appears they're ready to move on from the former Avalanche center.
This past season was one full of big moves for the Boston Bruins, a team that even moved franchise legend Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers as the former captain would go on to win his second career Stanley Cup.
Not only that, but they also dealt the likes of Brandon Carlo and Charlie Coyle, with the latter netting them veteran Casey Mittelstadt in a surprising deal with the Colorado Avalanche.
Boston looking to move on from Casey Mittelstadt?
Despite showing some promise early in his time with Boston, tallying 4 goals and 6 points in 18 games played, it appears the Bruins are ready to move on from 26-year old Mittelstadt as they look towards the future once more.
"There was a common feeling that he wasn't their main target when they traded for him; Zellers and the second-round draft pick were."
In his latest piece for RG Media, Jimmy Murphy revealed comments from an NHL executive who believes that Mittelstadt wasn't the biggest target for Boston in their deal, opening up the potential for a deal where they flip Mittelstadt.
Boston to be sellers during the 2025/26 season too?
The Boston Bruins selling is set to continue, with Pavel Zacha, Joonas Korpisalo and now Mittelstadt all named as players that could be moved at some point in the very near future.
It's unclear whether the team are motivated to move Mittelstadt before the season begins or if they are going to be patient enough to wait until the trade deadline, but after being traded from Buffalo to Colorado and now to Boston, it appears as though Mittelstadt could be on the move once again.
