Strapped for cash this offseason, the Boston Bruins have unloaded former MVP Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Boston BruinsHall and fellow forward Nick Foligno are heading to Chicago in exchange for young defensemen Ian Mitchell and Alec Regula, the teams announced. , this is their first big move done ahead of the likely selection of Connor Bedard with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, which kicks off Wednesday night. Bedard is easily the best prospect in the draft, and the Blackhawks won the lottery this year to get him as a cornerstone piece to the puzzle.
Hall is the main piece of this puzzle, though, as only Foligno’s negotiating rights were moved in this deal. He’s set for free agency on July 1 and will be turning 36 on Halloween this year.in 2017-2018, but he’s still been a solid producer. Last season, injuries didn’t help his cause, though, as he had just 36 points over 61 games. He was also moved down to the third line under Jim Montgomery last year due to the overwhelming talent on the roster.
Yet, Chicago has been on a downturn since the 2017-2018 season. They made the playoffs just once in the last six years. With Mitchell and Regula, they also have an interesting decision to make: Being restricted free agents, Boston can let them walk if they want to take straight savings this offseason to use for more pressing matters, say, signing Tyler Bertuzzi and Dmitry Orlov – two players they traded for at the deadline last season who they loved in the second half.
