Steve Babineau \/ NHLI via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The Boston Bruins have traded Jeffrey Viel to the Anaheim Ducks for a 2026 fourth-round pick. The selection will be the earlier of Anaheim\u2019s two fourth-round picks, which the Ducks acquired from the Detroit Red Wings and the Philadelphia Flyers.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TRADE: We have acquired Jeffrey Viel from Boston in exchange for a 2026 4th round pick.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/99EguadDYB\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/99EguadDYB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Anaheim Ducks (@AnaheimDucks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AnaheimDucks\/status\/2012219799745741293?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Viel, 28, is in the second season of a two-year, $1.55 million contract. The left wing has not scored a point in 10 games this season. The 6-foot-1, 214-pounder has fought now-Anaheim teammate Radko Gudas and the Florida Panthers\u2019 Jonah Gadjovich.<\/p>\n<p>He has most recently been serving as the Bruins\u2019 No. 2 spare forward, behind Mikey Eyssimont. Viel last played on Dec. 20, 2025, against the Vancouver Canucks, logging 7 minutes, 22 seconds of ice time in the Bruins\u2019 5-4 shootout loss.<\/p>\n<p>The Bruins liked Viel for his work ethic, willingness to fight and for being a good teammate. That they got a fourth-rounder from the Ducks indicates he would have likely been claimed had he been placed on waivers for assignment to Providence.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bruins liked Jeffrey Viel for his work ethic, willingness to fight and status as a good teammate.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136647,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,824,165,164,2063],"class_list":["post-136646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-ducks","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-boston-bruins"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
