Per Darren Dreger, the Boston Bruins are sending forward Jack Studnicka to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for goaltender Michael DiPietro and defenseman Jonathan Myrenberg.

DiPietro and his agent were granted by the club to facilitate a trade earlier this year, and it looks like they found one. A 2017 3rd round pick, DiPietro is signed through the '22-23 season and a restricted free-agent upon expiry.
Myrenberg, 19, was a 5th round pick of the Canucks in 2021 and is off to a strong start in the SHL with 3 points in 9 games so far. His acquisition might make him the best prospect in the Bruins' system.
Studnicka's role was never going to be certain this season, and given Boston's prospect situation, the move makes sense for all sides. The player gets a fresh start, the struggling Canucks get a hungry former second-round pick, and Boston bolsters their prospect pipeline.
Truly a win-win-win here.
