The Boston Bruins have landed winger Rick Nash from the New York Rangers on Sunday, the team announced.
A trade between the two teams involving Nash was reported to be nearing completion Saturday night, but salary-cap restrictions initially stood in the way of it being finalized.
However, it is now being reported New York will be retaining 50 percent of Nash's hefty $7.8-million cap hit, the maximum amount allowed, per McKenzie.
Nash's name has been heavily involved in trade rumors over the past couple months, with talks intensifying in recent days. The addition of a player of Nash's caliber is most definitely a coup for a Bruins club looking to take a serious run at the Cup.
