Chuck Kobasew has been traded from the Boston Bruins to the Minnesota Wild after only seven games. I am a little surprised by this deal but it just seems like a move that was more motivated by the salary cap than anything else.
The Bruins picked up winger, Craig Weller, and the rights to prospect, Alexander Fallstrom, in exchange for the veteran forward.

Overall, I don’t think it’s a bad move for Kobasew since I think he will fit right into their lineup and I actually think the Wild are getting the better end of this deal. They need all the help they can get at this point so hopefully this will get things started.
As a Calgary Flames fan, I wish he’d come back to our club. I thought he played pretty well with Jarome Iginla and I really don’t understand why they let him go in the first place.
