Back on this day in 1990, the Bruins made a massive trade for Chris Nilan who was playing for the Rangers at the time.
Nilan is a Boston native and went on to play for his hometown team for two seasons in which he put up over 150 penalty minutes in back to back seasons.

While Nilan was not a star offensively for the Bruins, he brought them so much needed toughness at the time, averaging 6.75 penalty minutes per game during the 1990 season.
