Bruins trade Studnicka to Canucks for DiPietro, Myrenberg

The Boston Bruins dealt forward Jack Studnicka to the Vancouver Canucks for goaltender Michael DiPietro and the rights to defenseman Jonathan Myrenberg.

Studnicka was once one of the Bruins’ top prospects, but he hasn’t been able to stick at the NHL level. Boston drafted him 53rd overall in 2017. He’s produced only one goal and six assists in 38 games with the Bruins over the last four seasons.

However, Studnicka is only 23 years old and collected 10 tallies and 25 helpers over 41 contests with the AHL’s Providence Bruins in 2021-22.

DiPietro, also 23, has spent most of his pro career with Vancouver’s AHL affiliate – then the Utica Comets and now the Abbotsford Canucks. He’s played three NHL games.

Vancouver drafted Myrenberg 140th overall last year. The 19-year-old Swede is playing in his home country with Mora of the second-tier Allsvenskan league.
