The Dougie trade comes into focus based on the Saad trade yesterday. Chicago got wind that Pitt was going to offer sheet him, so they deal him to a division rival instead of getting a similar package from the Pens. B's did the same thing to Edmonton. Apparently, its how GM's are going to police each other.
Confirmed with Link: Martin Jones traded to San Jose for 2016 1st round draft pick and Sean Kuraly

For San Jose, hopefully they got the player they wanted, but this looks like a really good deal for the Bruins. This is interesting:
It could be fair to assume that the Bruins knew what sort of value Jones would yield prior to making the trade. Those who have speculated that this was a three-way deal, may be onto something. Perhaps it isn't relevant but can anyone confirm whether Jones even made the trip back east? Anyway, for those of us who have no idea who Sean Kuraly is, this is a recent piece:
So his coach, a former GM and obviously the Bruins FO all see the same thing. Kuraly's not just something the Sharks threw in, he's a good prospect!

I've heard that Kuraly's parents had a "LOVE DOUG MacLEAN" day at their home where they bought a cake, put a Burger King crown on his head, and gave him a $25 gift certificate to Hooters.

A potential lottery pick 1st and prospect for a guy that was going to be our backup and needed a contract. Calgary was rumored to be threatening an offer sheet which was a realistic possibility considering 3 million for a backup is too much with a 7 million starter.
It's absolutely a great deal for the Bruins.
Lottery pick? Is SJ going to suck that much? Jones is pretty good... if anything, they upgraded in goal and probably make the playoffs next year.
I guess you can argue it's a good deal but I don't see it... yeah, the 3 mill. is a lot but he's a #1 calibre goalie and at 3mill per, that's not bad.
In today's NHL, I think it's proven that it's good to have a 1a and 1b goalie tandem.

Well SJS's 1a and 1b tandem has a combined 83 games played, even less than that started, and they just picked 9th overall last season. I think its definitely worth the gamble.

Oh, stop.
We traded a relatively unknown and inexperienced goalie for a 1st round pick. That's a great trade.
Also - 4 games. 4 stinking games. Let's wait, say, 15 before we start making ridiculous assumptions.
San Jose has also been playing great and has a significantly better defense than the Bruins.
So while there are a lot of things to complain about, this ain't one of them.

San Jose is just a much better team than we are, with a much more experienced blue line. Martin Jones is excelling right now, because the Sharks are playing very well.
The Sharks always start fast, I find, and then go into hibernation for a while in the fall. Marleau always starts out like he's going to score 50 goals in 39 games, and then turns into a passenger from November to February.
They'll regress eventually, because they are not this good. And Jones' performance will too.

I love this board, how much have we complained about Seguin, JB and Hamilton trades here during the last few years?
That why do we have to keep trading away our star/elite players and yet here we are after 3 games demanding all kind of trades, mostly concerning our top/elite players
