As the NHL trade deadline hit on Wednesday, 5 former Boston College men’s ice hockey players found themselves traded to new teams. Here’s the rundown of trade deadline action as it relates to BC:
Philip Samuelsson: Samuelsson was traded on February 21, a bit before the trade deadline madness really hit. He had been with the St. John’s Ice Caps, the AHL affiliate of Montreal, but was not having his best season and had been benched a few times. Samuelsson was traded to the Charlotte Checkers, the AHL affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes, in exchange for Keegan Lowe.
