Zac Rinaldo traded to Bruins for 3rd rounder because Ron Hextall has superpowers

Ron Hextall is still a magician. That draft. That Pronger + Grossmann trade. And now, he's just straight up embarrassing other general managers.

The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired a third-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft from the Boston Bruins in exchange for C Zac Rinaldo, according to general manager Ron Hextall.

A third-round pick for Zac Rinaldo. A THIRD ROUND PICK FOR ZAC RINALDO!

Rinaldo was a fan favorite in Philly for a lot of reasons, but the reality is that he's a below-replacement level player who has done nothing to prove that he deserves a regular job with an NHL team.
