Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney absolutely fleeced one playoff team at the trade deadline
Zellers was named the USHL Player of the Year last week after he scored 44 goals in just 52 games. The 19-year-old will attend the University of North Dakota, but if he is going to translate his offensive game to the college game, you wonder how long he'll be there. Then it will be up to the Bruins as to where he's at and how they can develop him to the NHL.
Mittlestadt is someone who could be in the Bruins' plans next year, as he has two years remaining on his current deal he signed with Colorado that carries an AAV of $5.75 million. He certainly had his moments in his short time with the Black and Gold. As for the draft pick, if there has been some drafting success under Sweeney, it's been in the second round of drafts.
You can't blame Colorado for going all-in at the deadline, but after a first-round exit, the trade return for Sweeney looks better. How many times have we seen the Bruins pay big time at the deadline for a player and have an early exit? This just feels like a deal that we'll look back on down the road and realize what a deal it was for the Black and Gold.
