- Joe Haggerty of CSNNE: Bruins Dennis Seidenberg has heard the rumors.
“People have mentioned those rumors to me, but all I can do at the end of the day is play hockey and work hard. That’s what makes you strong,” said Seidenberg. “If they feel like they want to move me, then there’s nothing I can do. Even if I have a no-trade clause, I don’t want to be here if they don’t want me.
“But my job is to play with full effort on the ice, and hopefully that’s enough for them to want to keep me. We’ll see.”
