The Boston Bruins are keeping busy on this draft day, as they try to retool their team from a disappointing 2015 season, missing out on the playoffs.

With their second big deal of the day, the Bruins shipped Milan Lucic off to the Los Angeles Kings for a package, which included restricted free agent goalie Martin Jones, prospect defender Colin Miller and the Kings 1st round pick, the 13th overall selection.

Lucic, will get a new refreshing place to play, while the Bruins get a new back-up goalie and a little bit more cap flexibility with the deal.

With Dougie Hamilton shipped off to Calgary, a good chunk of Lucic's cap hit off to Los Angeles, an Adam McQuaid signing, the Bruins now have 14 players on their projected roster, now coming in at $58.7 million, now giving them $15.4 million in cap space to sign in nine players.  They are now miles better than they were 24 hours ago and now they have three 1st round picks: 13th, 14th and 15th overall.

This might not be all for them today.
