Bozon trade 10816

Forward Tim Bozon was traded to the Florida Panthers by the Montreal Canadiens for defenseman Jonathan Racine on Saturday.
Bozon, 22, was diagnosed with Neisseria meningitis in March 2014, a rare and potentially fatal bacterial form of the disease. He spent two weeks in a coma in a hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and recovered to play 57 games in 2014-15 with Kootenay of the Western Hockey League.

Last season, his first as a professional, Bozon had five goals and eight points in 41 games with St. John's of the American Hockey League. The Canadiens selected Bozon in the third-round (No. 64) of the 2012 NHL Draft.
Racine, 23, had one goal and nine points in 69 games with Portland of the American Hockey League last season. A third-round pick (No. 87) in the 2011 NHL Draft, he played one NHL game with the Panthers during the 2013-14 season.
