CBS Sports-Boston and 98.5’s webpages have recently buzzed about the Edmonton Oilers winger Patrick Maroon and the apparent interest the Boston Bruins have in him.
Maroon’s gonna be 30 right around April, which is coincidentally the number of points he is two points shy of, and has long been a thorn in Boston’s side in recent contests against the Oilers, currently commanding six goals in his last three meetings against the Bruins. Granted, the Oilers are pretty trash right now, and appear to be poised to do anything they can to both salvage their season and probably save Peter Chiarelli’s job, so him being up for grabs doesn’t seem to be completely out of left field.
