With a critical offseason ahead for the Boston Bruins, Don Sweeney made his first big move of the offseason. Word broke that Taylor Hall has been traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in a salary dump for the Bruins, with two RFA defensemen coming to the Bruins.
Full trade, per sources:
To #NHLBruins: Rights to RFAs Ian Mitchell and Alec Regula.
To #Blackhawks: Taylor Hall, rights to UFA Nick Foligno.
No salary retained by Boston, this represents a pure salary dump to clear $6 million off Bruins' books.
