With the NHL trade deadline looming at 3 p.m., the Boston Bruins today shipped offensive defenseman Paul Mara to the New York Rangers in exchange for defensive-minded defenseman Aaron Ward.
Ward, 34, is 6'2'' 225 pounds and played a key role on last season's Stanley Cup champions, the Carolina Hurricanes. He reportedly has feuded recently with Rangers' star Jaromir Jagr.
Mara, 27, is 6'4'' 219 pounds. He was acquired by the Bruins from Phoenix for Nick Boynton in June.
Mara is paid $3 million a year. Ward signed a two-year, $5.5 million deal with the Rangers last summer.
