I looked it up and Minten would need the visa. So does Khusnutdinov. Not sure if that Buffalo deal went through but if it did, Joki needs one too.

Lauko was in Minny and Mittelstadt is American so they are good to go.
Minten is on the Marlies who play the Providence Bruins tonight. I wonder how that works :laugh:

I read recently about a baseball player who played for both teams in the same game. The game was halted for rain, to be completed at a later date. The player was traded to their opponent later, so he was on their roster when the rest of the game was played. :laugh:
 
Here's the master plan...

Marchand goes to FLA, he likely picked his spot, and helps them compete for a Cup alongside his new BFF Sam Bennett.

On July 1st, the Bruins sign BOTH Marchand and Bennett, and bring the FLA playbook with them.

Next year the Bruins have one high skill center in Mittelstadt and one two-way center in Bennett.

Generally, an NHL player traded within the US doesn't need a new visa, but the new team has 30 days to update the player's visa with the new employer information.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • P-1A Visa:
    Most non-US citizen professional athletes, including NHL players, enter the US under a temporary work visa category called P-1A, which allows them to play in the US.

  • Trade Flexibility:
    The P-1A visa status permits NHL players to be traded between NHL teams without significant interruption in their ability to play.

  • Employer Change:
    When a player is traded, the new team needs to file a new I-129 petition with the Department of Homeland Security to update the player's visa with the new employer information.

  • 30-Day Grace Period:
    Teams have 30 days from the date of the trade to change the "employer" line on the player's visa.

  • No New Visa Required:
    The player doesn't need a completely new visa, but the new team needs to update the existing visa with the new employer details
 
Sweeney got some real good returns on some of these deals. Marchand one is disappointing but hopefully it’s conveys to a first in 2028

Bruins Reportedly Beat Trade Deadline Buzzer To Make Acquisition

The Bruins didn’t only trade away franchise cornerstones on Friday, they also reportedly brought aboard one intriguing young piece.

Boston potentially acquired defenseman Henri Jokiharju just seconds before the NHL trade deadline on Friday, according to TSN’s Darren Dreger. It’s unknown whether or not the call was made in time, though.

Jokiharju, 25, is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after the season and carries a $3.1 million cap hit for 2024-25. The Bruins would give him this stretch run to potentially earn another contract heading into next season.

Jokiharju was a late addition to Team Finland’s roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off, sliding into the final defensive spot following injuries to Miro Heiskanen and Jani Hakanpaa.
