Boston Bruins Need To Use Zac Rinaldo Carefully

The Boston Bruins traded their 3rd round pick in 2017 to the Philadelphia Flyers for Zac Rinaldo. In 58 games with the Flyers in 2014, Rinaldo logged a team leading 102 penalty minutes. Over the last four seasons, Rinaldo has put up 8 goals and 572 penalty minutes in 223 games. Rinaldo does come with some playoff experience, having played in 14 playoff contests with the Flyers.

The trade came as a shock to many, not only because of the high price of a third for a fourth liner, but the fact that it was Rinaldo in general.
