The NHL trade market remained quiet but there was another big extension signed Tuesday. Meanwhile, Boston Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk explained why he took himself off the NHL trade market.

That, more Boston Bruins and NHL news, as well as NHL trade rumors in the latest BHN Bruins Daily:

When given the bait Tuesday, to trash former Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy and admit what anyone following the situation knows – that he rescinded his trade request because Cassidy was fired – Jake DeBrusk, like Cassidy did on him, took the high road. Instead, the Bruins winger took time to praise his teammates and Bruins fans.

The Boston Bruins paid a heavy premium for defenseman Hampus Lindholm at the 2022 NHL trade market and then signed him to to an eight-year, $52 million contract extension that will begin this season and carry a $6.5M AAV. What can Bruins fans expect from Lindholm in his first full season in the Black and Gold?
