The reasoning for the New York Rangers is clear here. They know they need to retool, and getting picks in volume is how you do that.
For the Bruins, this is superficially a strange move. Nick Holden is not at all who you think of when you think of the Bruins-style player. The league’s top Corsi For percentage team (if you score adjust it) is known for limiting shots against, and driving the play heavily towards the opposition.
