Boston Bruins field trade interest for defenseman Mason Lohrei

The Boston Bruins are receiving trade inquiries regarding defenseman Mason Lohrei ahead of training camp, which begins September 16. While the team is not actively shopping the 25-year-old, executives around the league are monitoring the status of Boston’s crowded blue line. The Bruins currently carry 10 defensemen with NHL experience, prompting internal discussions about potential roster moves. Lohrei previously appeared in trade rumors earlier this summer, and the team has evaluated his market value in past negotiations. Following an improved performance during the 2025-26 campaign, Lohrei is entering the second year of a two-year contract. General manager Don Sweeney confirmed that additional defensive adjustments remain possible as the team navigates early-season suspensions and roster evaluations.
