Boston Bruins in Talks with Tyler Seguin on Comeback Deal
In an unexpected twist that has fans buzzing, sources close to the Boston Bruins organization have revealed that management is in active discussions with former star forward Tyler Seguin regarding a potential return to the team.
Seguin, who played for the Bruins from 2010 to 2013, is reportedly being considered for a comeback in Boston, where he began his NHL career before being traded to the Dallas Stars.
The news comes as a surprise to many, given that Seguin has been with Dallas for over a decade, building a legacy as one of the franchise’s premier players.
During his time with the Stars, Seguin has consistently been among the league’s top goal-scorers and offensive threats, earning multiple All-Star selections and helping the team reach the 2020 Stanley Cup Final.
Seguin’s departure from the Bruins in 2013, following a trade that sent him to Dallas in exchange for Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, and Joe Morrow, was a controversial one, as Seguin was still viewed as a young, talented player with enormous potential.
While the trade was initially met with disappointment by many fans, it has since been considered a turning point for the franchise, leading to a successful period that included a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2019.
However, as the Bruins prepare for the 2024 season, management is reportedly intrigued by the idea of reuniting with the 32-year-old forward.
The team has seen significant turnover over the past few years, and the potential addition of a player like Seguin could provide a much-needed boost to both the offense and the leadership core.
Seguin, who has faced his own challenges in recent years—including recovery from significant hip surgery—has shown signs of resilience and determination in his play, scoring 50 points in 82 games last season.
His veteran presence, coupled with his ability to produce offensively, could be a valuable asset for a Bruins team that remains in pursuit of another Stanley Cup after coming up short in the playoffs in recent seasons.
Details of the negotiations are still under wraps, but it’s clear that the Bruins are exploring the possibility of bringing Seguin back to Boston for a new chapter in his career.
Whether this deal will come to fruition remains to be seen, but for now, Bruins fans are hopeful that Seguin could once again suit up for the team that helped launch his NHL career.
