It was always a bit of a puzzle that the Bruins had requested Martin Jones in the Milan Lucic trade, since Boston already had Tuukka Rask, one of the best starters in the NHL, signed for quite some time. Keeping a good but relatively expensive backup like Martin Jones around to play 15 games a year didn't make lot of sense for a cap-strapped team like Boston.
Today we learned what Boston was thinking: they flipped Martin Jones to San Jose for a 2016 first and a minor prospect. Rich Hammond tweeted that Lombardi had not wanted Jones to go to the Western Conference, much less the Pacific division, hence the inclusion of Jones in the Lucic trade.
