On Saturday, the Boston Bruins sent forward Vinni Lettieri and the No. 110 overall draft pick to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for forward Jakub Lauko and the 122nd overall pick in this year’s draft.
Lauko, 24, was selected by the Bruins in the third round of the 2018 draft. In 83 games with Boston over the last two seasons, he has six goals and eleven assists. He made his NHL debut in the 2022–2023 season.
Lettieri, 29, made his NHL debut with the New York Rangers in 2017–18 after going undrafted. Lettieri has scored 27 points in 129 games over six seasons with four teams, including the Bruins in 2022–2023 (12 goals, 15 assists).
In the fourth round, each team’s natural selection is represented by the trade of draft selections. Aron Kiviharju, a Danish defenseman who spent the previous season with HIFK Helsinki in Finland, has been acquired by the Wild. The rights to defenseman Elliott Groenewald, a Quinnipiac commit and native of Vermont, were acquired by the Bruins.
