Breaking news. Trade update

As per the Washington Captials: a trade has been made with the Boston bruins sending Chris Bourque to the Bruins for Zach Hamill. Chris Bourque's father (Ray Bourque) played for the Bruins.

I think it’s a good trade. Seems change starts early. Good luck to Chris Bourque in his new town.
