The Boston Bruins continue to be a busy team this week, making their second trade in three days, this time to bolster their roster. 

Having dealt away Chuck Kobasew on Sunday to Minnesota the Bruins today acquired left wing Daniel Paille from the Buffalo Sabres in return for two draft picks, a third rounder and a conditional fourth rounder in 2010. 

According to NESN.com Paille was brought in as a short-term replacement for the injured Milan Lucic, currently sidelined for six weeks with a broken finger. 

Paille until now had played his entire NHL career (since 2005-06) with the Sabres. His best season was 2007-08 with 19 goals and 35 points in 77 games, but his playing time was reduced in 2008-09, and this season he'd only appeared in two games for the Sabres. 

It remains to be seen if the 25-year-old Paille can regain his form with his new club and it could be a stretch to expect him to fully replace Lucic's physical presence on the Bruins roster.
