Michael Callahan very well may get the chance to skate for his hometown team, as the Bruins acquired the rights to the defenseman in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes.
Boston on Tuesday announced the team traded its seventh-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft to the Coyotes in exchange for the rights to Callahan, a Franklin, Mass., native who currently plays at Providence College.
Callahan, who is 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, has appeared in 134 games for the Friars over the past four seasons. He has logged 13 goals and 53 assists with a plus-23 rating.
The 22-year-old was selected by the Coyotes in the fifth round (142nd overall) in 2018. He previously played for Central Illinois and Youngstown in the USHL.
