The 2025 NHL trade deadline didn't disappoint.
A ton of deals were made ahead of Friday's 3 p.m. ET deadline, and the Boston Bruins were among the busiest teams. They dealt away captain Brad Marchand, center Charlie Coyle and defenseman Brandon Carlo on Friday. That's in addition to trading center Trent Frederic and left wing Justin Brazeau earlier in the week.
