This could be a good move to give the Bruins more space to work under the cap and maybe allow them to keep their talented forward Phil Kessel. During the last two seasons Peter Schaefer was an utter disappointment and dead weight for the Boston Bruins.
There is belief the Maple Leafs have been zeroing in on New York Rangers defenceman Wade Redden and forward Peter Schaefer of the Boston Bruins.
Schaefer, 31, was buried in the minors by the Bruins last season because of salary cap concerns. He has one more year on his contract at $2.3-million (U.S.). Redden, 32, was signed to a six-year, $39-million unrestricted free-agent deal last summer, and the Rangers would not be averse to moving him. [the Bruins Blog] and [Globe and Mail]
Schaefer doesn't take any cap space when he plays in Providence all year like he did last year. Trade him for picks and prospects.
