After months of speculation, the New Jersey Devils made their move. They traded winger Marcus Johansson to the Boston Bruins. The Bruins sent back a 2nd-round pick in 2019 and a 4th-round pick in 2020.
Marcus Johansson’s time in New Jersey was short and felt even shorter than it actually was because of injuries. He was just recently started to play well, but his contract is expiring after this season so he was clearly trade bait for a team that is for sure not making it to the playoffs.
The Bruins are getting a pretty good left wing that can play a few different roles with them.
