Bruins Trade, Make Their First Pick

The Bruins continued to be active in the trade department acquiring the first pick in the 2nd round from the Philadelphia Flyers. To obtain the pick, the Bruins gave up defenseman Jordan Hendry, goaltender Andrew Raycroft and Phoenix' 3rd round pick. After trading the 1st round pick in the Clutterbuck deal, this became the first pick for the Bruins who went out and made their pick as soon as the deal had been confirmed.

We decided to draft rookie defenseman Mark Fayne who we feel can step right into our top six at the back. Since the Bruins had to trade one of their three goalies (due to league rules), Andrew Raycroft was the odd man out and became eligible. And since the Flyers needed to add players to their roster, the deal made sense for both clubs. A bonus for us is that Fayne can play in all games this season.
