The Boston Bruins have acquired Shane Bowers from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Keith Kinkaid.
However, he has just 11 of those over the past three years as he has settled in as a veteran third-stringer.

He’s also on a one-year, two-way deal worth the minimum in the NHL although his AHL pay is considerably higher at $450K.

The 2017 first-round pick has spent the bulk of the year in the minors, picking up 14 points in 37 games with AHL Colorado.
