Lars Eller anyone? Is that going too far? LHC, 54% FO this season. His contract expires after this season/playoffs, and his cap hit is $3.5 million (although I think that he's owed more). I know that he had issues with Brad but these guys are professionals, and Brad is no dummy he keeps his eye on the prize. At this point in his career he's probably not a strong trade candidate for DS but just a thought for a low (trade) cost center. Don't get me wrong I'd rather Barbashev or that type of PIA guy.

They might remember rebound Reimer.

I think he invented the rebound.

I can’t root for Eller and Hathaway that’s too far

If he came with the guarantee that he would play as well as he did during the Caps Cup run I'd want him in a heartbeat. Dude was off the chain awesome. Something like 3 game winners that playoffs. He and Smith-Pelly provided the secondary support necessary to win the Cup.

Why did Bruins trade for Dmitry Orlov with an already full left side on defense?

“The versatility with Dmitry is he plays both sides,” general manager Don Sweeney said. “Equally adept at it. He’s a very, very good puck mover. Looks to get up into the rush. Has a shot mentality at the offensive blue line. Certainly defends with conviction and does have an open-ice mindset at times to be able to take away time and space effectively. We just think there’s a real good hockey player there who’s got experience. He’s won a Stanley Cup. Adds to our group in any one of the areas we think he can address and who he’s going to play with.”
