I just saw this on TSN's trade tracker, the Bruins have acquired veteran forward Mark Recchi and a 2010 second-round pick from the Tampa Bay Lightning for defenseman Matt Lashoff and forward Martins Karsums. I think this is a good move, although the Bruins are giving up some young talent but Lashoff hasn't done much given all the chances he has been given, and Karsums may turn into a better player if he gets more ice time, which in Tampa Bay he should.
Update @ 4:49pm
Some trade news on former Bruins. Defenseman Kyle McLaren who has been playing in the San Jose Sharks AHL affiliate, has been traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. New York Islanders captain Bill Guerin has been traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Update @ 2:18am on 03/11/09
The Kyle McLaren trade to the Flyers was nixed because McLaren failed a physical.
Recchi, a seven-time NHL all-star and two-time Stanley Cup Champion, is a veteran of 1472 NHL regular season games with 535 goals, 891 assists (1426 points) and 962 penalty minutes over 20 seasons. Of his 535 goals, 182 have come on the power play and 81 have been game-winners. He has 15 career 20-goal seasons, seven 30-goal seasons, four 40-goal seasons and one 50-goal season. The 41-year-old Kamloops, BC native has played in 62 games for Tampa Bay this year with 13-32-45 totals.
