The Rangers sent defenseman Aaron Ward to the Boston Bruins today. Ward is a very good defenseman, and a vocal leader in the dressing room. He comes to Boston with a Stanley Cup ring from last season, and becomes the Bruins number-two defenseman immediately. Paired with Zdeno Chara, the Bruins now have a big, physical and mean top defensive pairing. Ward is a good puck mover, and should help Boston’s play five-on-five and the power play. Going the other way, Paul Mara. Mara plays a similar game to Wards, but with more offensive flair. Mara joins the rush very well, though neither defenseman played to expectation this season. Mara should fit very nicely with the Rangers, as they continue to put together a fleet-footed puck-moving group of defensemen. A good player-for-player trade for both teams, as they look to shake up their rooms in their push for the playoffs.
