He had Zub who was a pretty sound defensive partner. Not amazing but making him look good.
They have Chabot/Sanderson/Brannstrom in the future on the left side.

Reilly is just as much a reason that pairing has been solid. Theres a reason why he has twice as many points.
Sanderson is playing next season in college. Brann is still an uncertainty and can also play RD. I hope Ottawa resigns Reilly for at least a year.
Do you actually watch hockey games??? Reilly is inconsistent and has cost the Sens plenty of times over. Granted its more management fault for putting him in that position as a 3-4D. But arguing he is a solid top 3 guy is well.. absurd. You are no better.
Brannstrom will be better than him next year and Sanderson will be close if not as well. Next year after obviously he will.
I like it for Bruins, especially when your top4 is out at the time. Reilly this season is basically tier B/C Krug, haha. 3rd might be a slight overpayment, but hey, it is not unreasonable. He will get an icetime now and Bruce will decide where he puts him in the Isles/Caps series.

CBJ thiefed that trade
Lightning gm: what do you want for Savard? A 1st? Fine. I dont have time to wait. Deal
Perhaps, but if Boston had Reilly tonight, he would have been far and away the best defenseman Boston had on the ice. Boston tonight played with its #4/#6/#8/#9/#11/#12 defensemen.
and 4 and 6 are rookies

Reilly is all about confidence. If he has it, he's alright. If he doesn't, don't even dress him

I disagree with this assessment and I was one of Reilly’s biggest believers this season.
Good move for Boston however as many have stated in this thread, he’d be their 6/7 D with a healthy lineup. He was playing well against tough competition but I believe that says more of Zub than it does Reilly.
This trade allows Ottawa to give Brannstrom more ice time so that alone is a win for Ottawa.
Wish him the best in Boston though!

He's not really a quarterback in the PP1 sense. What you're getting is a guy who can skate and move the puck fine, and slide onto your second powerplay and second PK. Not somebody you can match up against top lines though, and not a good enough puck-mover to carry a stay-at-home type. Better off as the better skater of a transition-oriented pair, but also solid enough to handle a heavy forecheck, even if his brain limits his ability to manage pressure.
It's a good move for Boston though. Reilly turned a corner this year, reducing his mistakes quite a bit and finding some balance between offence and defence. It remains to be seen if he can perform with anybody other than Zub though, as his progression coincided with that pair being assembled. I'm not sure anybody could make Gudbranson or Josh Brown effective, but Reilly certainly struggled with them.

Dorion on TSN right now saying he sees this draft as a good draft (bold statement, imo), and that he's working on a lot more.

He also said that he wasn't going to be making any big deals (like Pageau or Stone) and more like the ones he did yesterday.

I like this for the Bruins. He's good LHD insurance for a unit decimated by injuries. Assuming good health, he would probably best served on Carlo's left. Carlo is a total event destroyer, for both teams. At ES Reilly would be able to gamble a little bit and maximize his ability knowing his partner is afraid to pass his own blue line. Zboril and Lauzon have been fine but both are getting dinged a lot so this is a good fit.

This draft is also widely thought to 1) simply be a lower level draft, even pre-covid 2) a crapshoot with the lack of games for prospects and lack of in-depth scouting options
So... I think it was more platitudes, but fingers crossed he does make more trades!

Well, it's one of those situations where you might be able to grab a better player with a lower pick because of that lack of scouting.
If it -is- a crapshoot, a 5th or 6th rounder might be worth more than in a regular year.
