"According to a source, the Bruins have swung a deal with the Thrashers that will send forward Blake Wheeler and defenseman Mark Stuart to Atlanta in exchange for center Rich Peverley and defenseman Boris Valabik. TSN's Bob McKenzie was the first to report the deal. Peverley, 28, has another year remaining on his contract that carries a cap hit of $1.325 million. He has 14 goals and 20 assists this season for 34 points. Wheeler has 11 goals and 16 assists on the season for 27 points. He will be a restricted free agent at season's end (WEEI)."
I'll be honest, I had no idea who Peverley was until this deal was made. I don't know how I feel about this deal and will still be very upset if Kaberle isn't on the Bruins by the trade deadline. Saying that, I am glad Wheeler is gone, he has had enough chances. He has all the talent/size in the world, but plays like he is tiny or something. What is interesting is that Peverley is a center, and the Bruins already have too many of those, so it'll be interesting to see if this trade leads to another trade.
