The Boston Bruins are looking to make a splash ahead of the March 8 trade deadline, and according to recent reports, it may result in one veteran's behaviour costing him a spot on the team.
Last week, it was reported that veteran defenseman Derek Forbort was healthy scratched due to missing a team meeting, and now, it's getting worse.
Despite the support from Jake DeBrush, according to a recent report from Bruins Insider Jimmy Murphy, it may be the thing that ultimately costs Forbort his spot in Boston.
Murphy's comments also indicate that his declining play could be a factor behind the move, with the pending UFA missing the team meeting likely to be the final straw for the Bruins. The team are reportedly targeting hometown boy Noah Hanifin at the trade deadline, and with the team needing to match salary, Forbort being included could make plenty of sense, but for now, it appears his time in Boston is close to the end.
