What the Andrew Ladd trade to the Chicago Blackhawks means for the Boston Bruins at the NHL trade deadline

The first big trade of the 2016 trade deadline has broken, and it's a big one. Winnipeg Jets captain Andrew Ladd has been traded to the Chicago Blackhawks, along with defenseman Jay Harrison and prospect Matt Fraser for a first round pick, a conditional second pick and crucially, prospect winger Marko Dano. Winnipeg retain a third of Ladd's salary this season.

We've already talked at length about how the Andrew Ladd trade would set the price for Boston in any Loui Eriksson negotiations...and now the Ladd trade has been made, what is the result?

In short...GAME ON.
