When the Boston Bruins had a fire sale at the trade deadline back in March, it was a series of moves that brought back a mix of current NHL players, prospects, and even draft picks.
General manager Don Sweeney moved some very important roster pieces in Charlie Coyle, Brad Marchand, Brandon Carlo, Trent Frederic, and Justin Brazeau, getting a mixture of the three pieces mentioned above in return. One deal that sent Coyle to the Colorado Avalanche got a return of Casey Mittlestadt, prospect Will Zellers, and a draft pick in the second round of this past June's NHL Entry Draft.
