Bruins acquire rights to Franklin native Michael Callahan from Coyotes

Nothing like a trade at 10 PM to wrap up a quiet Tuesday!

The Bruins announced this evening that they’ve acquired the rights to defenseman Michael Callahan from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2024 draft.

Callahan himself was a fifth-round pick by Arizona back in 2018, so it ends up being a pretty even swap.

Not to get too snarky about the move, but this one checks almost all of the Don Sweeney boxes:

  • Decent size (6’2”, 200 pounds) for a defenseman
  • American who plays college hockey
  • Franklin, Massachusetts native

Another Large, Local, College Son.
