The Bruins had some tough decisions to make when the new season kick-started with the Dispersal Draft. First off, the Bruins had to leave a couple of players that we didn't want to lose unprotected. This meant we knew we'd be losing a few guys we didn't want to lose. In the end, we lost backup keeper Brian Elliott to the L.A. Kings and d'man Johnny Boychuk to the St. Louis Blues.
This left us with only five d'men, so we had to focus on picking up a solid 6th guy. Bryan Allen was picked up from the Phoenix Coyotes, a stay-at-home d'man who gets the job done. We also decided to protect the rest of our unprotected players by selecting our own Craig Adams. With the final pick of the draft, the available pool of players was very slim so getting Tanner Glass was ok.
However, trade talks began at the draft which resulted in probably the biggest trade in league history where both Allen and Glass were part of the deal...
