In the middle of all this excitement, the Bruins also acquired the rights to Andrei Svetlakov from the Wild

So hey in all of that commotion, we completely forgot to mention what else the Wild did in taking on half of Orlov’s salary and that 5th rouner, which is trade the Bruins the signing rights to Russian forward Andrei Svetlakov.

Svetlakov is a 6’0 Moscow native who has been playing in the CSKA system his entire life, and was a 6th round pick of the Wild back in 2017. He’s since been a perfectly decent player in the juggernaut program’s system.
