The Boston Bruins and the Chicago Blackhawks have sealed a deal involving four major players, following the announcement made by Bruins General Manager, Don Sweeney.
The transaction sees defensemen Alec Regula and Ian Mitchell switching sides from the Blackhawks to the Bruins, and forwards Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno moving in the opposite direction.
The Buzz around the Chicago Blackhawks’ Newest Additions
The Chicago Blackhawks are welcoming two strong forwards. Taylor Hall, the 31-year-old seasoned player, signed a four-year contract with the Bruins in 2021.
Despite a $6MM cap hit, Hall remains a highly valued player. His movement to the Blackhawks is not without a slight twist of irony.
Once part of the most successful regular season team in history, the move to Chicago, while a downgrade, offers new prospects.
He could potentially team up with the talented Connor Bedard, contingent on future decisions.
Joining Hall, Nick Foligno is no minor addition.
The pending unrestricted free agent, who’s set to turn 36 in October, has proven his worth with a comeback season this year, securing 26 points in 60 games. His veteran leadership could provide the necessary guidance for the younger members of the Blackhawks.
