Earlier this season, the Chicago Blackhawks sent forward Tommy Wingels to the Boston Bruins in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. The conditions were if the Bruins won one round in this year’s playoffs or if the Bruins re-signed Wingels, the fifth-round pick would turn into a fourth-round pick.
Boston currently leads its playoff series with Toronto 2-1, and the Bruins will play Game 4 tonight in Toronto.
At age 30, Wingels was everything the ‘Hawks could’ve asked for and more. The Evanston native provided a veteran presence in the locker room and gave depth to a very young roster.
