Deadline Day – Deal 3: Boston & Florida
Posted by Joe Yerdon on March 3rd, 2010 | 0 comments
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.
