Grading the Frank Vatrano trade: A necessary move

The Boston Bruins made their second move of trade deadline season today, sending forward Frank Vatrano to the Florida Panthers in exchange for a 2018 third-round pick.

The deal isn’t exactly a major one, but it’s a rather clattering end for a guy who once seemed destined to be a decent NHL player in Boston.

What they sent out

Vatrano hasn’t played for the Bruins in nearly three weeks, and played sporadically prior to that. He was an exciting player in his first go-round with the team, and lit it up in the AHL.
