Deadline Day – Deal 3: Boston & Florida

Trade:

Florida gets: Forwards Craig Weller, Byron Bitz, 2nd Round Pick

Boston gets: Defensemen Dennis Seidenberg, Matt Bartkowski (sophomore – Ohio State)

Analysis:

Boston gets a better defensive defenseman in Seidenberg as he’s a shot blocking freak. So they’ve got that going for them.  They hand off a bunch of blue collar spare parts in Weller and Bitz and the Bruins have draft picks to throw away and they do that here handing off a 2nd rounder to the Panthers.

Seidenberg will help out from a defensive stand point but the Bruins main issue is goal scoring and Seidenberg isn’t helping there. Expect another move or two still for Boston.
