The Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney announced a trade on Thursday.
The Bruins have traded forward Frank Vatrano to the Florida Panthers in exchange of a 2018 third round pick.
Vatrano had two goals in 25 games so far this year with the Bruins and also added 22 penalty minutes. He played in 44 games last year notching career highs of 10 goals and eight assists for 18 points.
Just a couple of years after recording three had tricks and six multi goal games in the AHL, Vatrano has struggled to find a permanent spot in the NHL lineup.
Sweeney will speak to the media on Saturday to discuss the deal.
