Bruins reportedly made an offer for Kirill Marchenko, Friedman says

The Boston Bruins reportedly submitted a trade offer for Columbus Blue Jackets forward Kirill Marchenko, according to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts Podcast. Bruins general manager Don Sweeney has been exploring options to bolster the team's secondary scoring depth behind star forward David Pastrnak.

The specific timing and terms of the trade offer remain unclear, including whether the bid occurred prior to Boston acquiring forward JJ Peterka. The Bruins previously surrendered two first-round draft picks in the trade to acquire Peterka.
