Another deal on Deadline Day
There are some major moves happening on Deadline Day, but let's not forget how important it is for teams to also balance out their farm clubs.
That's what the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers did on Friday morning. Boston acquire Massimo Rizzo and Alexis Gendron from Philly in return for Brett Harrison and Jackson Edward in an AHL swap.
Harrison and Edward are going to report to the Flyers’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Rizzo and Gendron are expected to join the Providence Bruins, Boston’s top farm team.
None of them has yet to play in an NHL contest.
Harrison was taken by the Bruins in the third round of the 2021 NHL Draft. Since turning pro at the end of the 2022-23 season, but has only played for Providence. He's put up eight goals and nine assists for 17 points in 46 games this season in the AHL.
Edward has split the past couple of seasons with Providence and the Maine Mariners, the Bruins’ ECHL affiliate. In 40 AHL games, Edward has scored a goal and seven points.
