Flyers trade Rinaldo to Bruins

After a draft in which he was praised, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall made his second deal in three days Monday, sending feisty left winger Zac Rinaldo to Boston for a third-round pick in the 2017 draft.

Almost immediately, the Twitter hashtag #InHexyWeTrust began trending in Philadelphia.

Rinaldo, 25, supplied energy but lots of ill-advised (read: knuckleheaded) penalties during his five-year stint with the Flyers. He had a goal, six points, five fights, and 102 penalty minutes in 58 games last season.

Rinaldo, who made his Flyers debut during the 2011 playoffs, was a sixth-round pick in 2008.
