WILMINGTON — Dennis Seidenberg heard his name bandied about in trade speculation and didn’t like it. The Bruins defenseman wasn’t bothered by the speculation. He seemed upset about his own play that precipitated the talk in the first place.
Seidenberg knew a deal was not happening because he has a full no-trade clause in his contract, and new general manager Don Sweeney never asked him to waive it.
Still, the very fact his name was being kicked around does not sit well with Seidenberg and, after yesterday’s captain’s practice at Ristuccia Arena, he vowed to use it as motivation to return to form this season.
