Straight up, if the Boston Bruins somehow managed to secure the signing of Marcus Johansson, it’s a safe bet that Noel Acciari is one of a couple of players that are the sacrificial lamb.
If the Charlie McAvoy deal ends up exceeding the comparable of the Florida Panthers’ Aaron Ekblad, who signed for $7.5 million, again Noel Acciari likely becomes the sacrifice on the Boston Bruins roster.
Essentially, he’s done nothing but prove himself since his days captaining Providence College. He now has 180 NHL appearances to his name, with an additional 35 in the play-offs.
