Bruins Send Vatrano to Panthers for a 3rd Round Pick



The Bruins parted ways with one of my favorite players today. I understand why and wish him the best.

  1. I'm surprised Boston moved him. Thought he was going to be a big part of Boston's future. Watched him in the playoffs last year and he looked good.

  2. Bruins basically gave up O'Gara and Vatrano for Holden and a (most likely) better 3rd round pick this year.

    Those 2 trades alone are mediocre at best, but both of them together are pretty damn great by Sweeny. With Miller being a healthy scratch last couple games, and now Vatrano leaving for a pick, it makes me wonder if Sweeny is interested in shipping Killer away for a more offensively talented DMan, or even just an Winger in general. Maybe Killer, a prospect and a pick for Karlsson. Honestly, at this point, Don Sweeny is pretty unpredictable and I wouldn't put anything beside him…Ok except our first 2/3 lines. They're staying.

  3. Not sure I want Nash in Boston and I heard he was willing to leave for a Canadian team or was that just rumors? He’s just inconsistent and what we would have to give for him would most likely be too much

  4. If you listen to Boston sports media they make it sound like the Bruins swindled Florida. I feel like it was a fair trade.

  5. Congrats on your very own hockey card, THG.  That is kind of awesome.  It appears the race to the playoff is going to have a photo-finish, so that should keep things interesting until the play-offs start.

  6. IN THE MEAN TIME MICHAEL GRABNER DID NOT PLAY DO TO RUMORS OF A TRADE !!! THERE GOES MY FANTASY NUMBERS !!!

  7. If Boston were to pick up Nash, how might they handle having two R. Nash’s on the team? Do you think they would have need to use a middle initial or maybe first names on the jerseys?

  8. Panthers had a badass win tonight against Washington. I hope this Vatrano guy can make an impact on the team

  9. Im a little afraid he might acheive what he can somewhere else and the third round pick will look ugly.

  10. Panthers baby! And USA women's hockey team are victorious! I'm so proud they won the game tonight and gold medal for USA women. I live in Fort Lauderdale and this game is mostly important following the Parkland massacre. I want to give a shout out to Shannon and my friends from Cypress Bay High in Weston. Vatrano could be a better fit for the Panthers and they become better for the remainder of the season.

  11. Vatrano is the type of guy who needs regular ice time, he wasnt going to get it in boston so to me this is a good move for both teams.
