It's a strange time for the Bruins.

After their elimination in the first round of the playoffs against the Carolina Hurricanes, the Bruins announced a LOT of bad news to their fans.
Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, Charlie McAvoy, Matthew Grzelcyk or Mike Reilly will not be healthy for the start of next season. Bruce Cassidy was also surprisingly fired.
Things could get bad for Boston and it seems like they could be heading for a rebuild. And in this case, it might convince David Pastrnak to ask for a trade.

"The Bruins could start 2022-23 down their first-line combination and a Charlie McAvoy-Matt Grzelcyk pairing that, at times, has served as their No.1 duo. A coaching change, surgeries to critical contributors and a pending rebuild will not encourage David Pastrnak to sign an extension with one year left on his deal. In fact, the right wing may be general manager Don Sweeney's best trade piece to trigger a teardown," wrote Fluto Shinzawa.
David Pastrnak scored 40 goals this season and has a cap hit of $6.6M. He could very well ask for $9 to 10M per year on his next contract.
