The move clears Haula’s $2.375 million cap hit from the books. However, Zacha is a restricted free agent with arbitration attached afterContinue reading “Bruins Acquire Pavel Zacha from the Devils for Eric Haula”

Has Hampus Lindholm Changed the Bruins Blue Line?
You bet he has. But you already knew that! Let’s begin by looking at some numbers prior to the arrival of Hampus Lindholm.

They Have to Stay in the Lineup Don’t You Think?
I’m talking about Anton Blidh, Oskar Steen and Urho Vaakanainen. Although it’s been limited timing for Steen and Vaakanainen, one could argue that none of the trio has done anything to warrant being taken out of the lineup.
