Bruins trade for Victor Arvidsson, send fifth-round pick to Oilers

New York Times3 days ago
The Boston Bruins have acquired Viktor Arvidsson from the Edmonton Oilers. According to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun, the Bruins are moving a 2027 fifth-round draft pick to the Oilers. Arvidsson waived his no-trade clause. No salary is being retained.
Arvidsson, 32, gives the Bruins much-needed pop up front. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound right-shot forward is an interior player with a high motor. He could play on the second or third line, depending on coach Marco Sturm's preference.

Arvidsson, 32, is entering the last season of his two-year, $8 million contract. In 2021-22, when Sturm was an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Kings, Arvidsson scored 20 goals and 29 assists in 66 games.
The Bruins have approximately $9 million in cap space remaining. Acquiring Arvidsson makes a pursuit of Brock Boeser unlikely.

WWE Contract Status for 2 'Monday Night Raw' Stars With Expiring Deals

WWE Contract Status for 2 'Monday Night Raw' Stars With Expiring Deals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Two current members of the WWE roster are in a contract year, and an update has surfaced on their current deals. Advertisement WWE assesses its roster space multiple times per year. The company constantly brings in new talent for shows such as "Monday Night Raw" and developmental programs such as "NXT" and "Evolve." As new stars enter, some seasoned veterans fall victim to roster cuts. In the case of Karrion Kross and his wife, Scarlett, many have been wondering if the act will stick around in WWE past 2025. Fightful reports that while some backstage feel that Kross and Scarlett will have their deals renewed, the pair's contracts are coming due in August. Karrion Kross attempts to get under the skin of Sami Zayn during a backstage interaction.(via WWE) Kross has been able to garner some buzz online in recent months. His efforts have paid off, as fans have been reacting to his appearances on TV despite the fact that he only recently found himself in a PLE match for the first time since "WrestleMania 40." Kross is currently involved in a storyline with Sami Zayn, which was not settled following their singles match at "Night of Champions." Advertisement Scarlett plays a significant role in the presentation of the Kross character. Whenever Kross begins to let his emotions get in the way of his plans, Scarlett reminds her husband of their ultimate goal. She's also vital for Kross' entrance, which has been praised since their days on the "NXT" brand. Those who believe Kross and Scarlett will be sticking around point to the fact that the act has new merchandise for sale on WWE Shop. It certainly doesn't hurt that the two have become regulars on the "Raw" brand.
