Defenseman John Moore is the first player the Bruins have added to their taxi squad.

"It's tough, the whole thing is tough," said Marchand. "There's obviously a valid argument on both sides where this will be the new norm wit the variant coming around every year, and it's something we're going to have to live with and we can't be doing this year in and year out and every day. As some point we have to get bak to some normalcy."
