Confirmed with Link: Bruins Acquire Mike Reilly from Ottawa Senators in exchange for 2022 3rd-round pick

[MAINE-IAC]

why does everyone care so much about a 3rd

Exactly. Good pu

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

7 days I believe.

I think the 7 days is for players coming from US to a Can team. Was 14 days earlier.

I don’t think Laine or Roslovic had to wait that much before playing after their trade.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Why? Are there covid rules in the US? My understanding is there is not

Pretty sure its a week. Maybe less

 

[13Hockey]

This pushes Zboril out of the Top 6 if everyone is healthy which is huge

 

[mikelvl]

I would have given the fifth for Merrill rather than a 3rd for this JAG.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Pretty sure its a week. Maybe less

I know that's US to Canada team. Not sure it's Canada to US tho.

 

[Fenway]

19 assists and only a -2 on a bad team.

For context....McAvoy has 22 points.

Grzelcyk 13

What are the rules regarding Covid though?

From Canada to the US no issue

 

[Sheppy]

I don’t hate this.

 

[CDJ]

It’s an NHL-caliber defenseman, yes!

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

I don’t hate this.

I like it. I’ll like it a lot more if tomorrow we get a scoring forward. Also wouldn’t say no to a depth add with physicality up front.

Awesome deal! This is the guy I wanted for the left side.

He's been playing top four minutes in Ottawa and doing very well. He's been steadily getting better and better every year and is now in his prime. Bit of a late bloomer maybe. Put him next to Carlo, keep Grzcelyk and McAvoy together. I think he'll be very good for us.

Now shore up the forwards.

I want a scoring forward, and a legit upgrade on some of our 4th liners, hahaha.

Main thing for me is that DS did not give up a high pick. Who cares about a 3rd rounder when DS would draft someone projected to go in the 5th round with it anyway. Not much risked here, and it makes sense for the Bs. Keep that 1st round pick unless it's for someone who will be with the Bs for multiple years and actually have an impact. Given the issues with the Bs D health this season, as well as the lack of good puck movers on D, this trade makes pretty good sense.

Yeah a 3rd is basically nothing I don’t even know why I even pointed that out.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Statistically, he's been a beast this year. Which is really saying something since he's been playing for a shitty team. But his advanced stats are also completely out of whack with the rest of his career, and those career numbers mean a hell of a lot more.

But even then, seems like a good trade on the surface. We're talking about a third round pick. Who cares if it "should have been a fourth" or whatever.

The Bruins will in a few years with the aging core's decline. It should have been a 5th. We are desperate as fans and the rejoicing at this one shows it. If Rielly is a top 6 defenseman in the playoffs this team is done.

Not sure why reading this made me think of this:

How do you know this if you’re not involved in any discussions?

I guess I have no idea what the value is. Don’t mind me haha

What are the odds a third round pick becomes an NHL regular? I'm not saying you throw those picks away. More darts, more chance to hit a bullseye. But if the franchise's fortunes depend on a third round pick? LOL.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Smart first step. I wanted a guy with a little more bite to his game, but Reilly is a good add nonetheless. I actually thought he was a lot older than he is.

Good move, Sweeney. Approved

Unfortunately this is where I expect the Bruins to be in a few seasons. This team needs those darts. 3rd round pick will likely play fewer games than Rielly will for the Bruins, but Rielly is our #6-7 when the defense is healthy again.

Fans need to remember he played in the North division where only offense is played. His career speaks for itself. Journeyman depth defenseman. Sweeney is desperate. I am worried about tomorrow!

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Is he better than Zboril or Clifton ?

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I know some folks wanted a big sexy name on defence. I didn't. I wanted those bigger assets to go toward forward help.

This is the right play. Reilly will play on this blueline even when everyone is healthy.

Grzelcyk - McAvoy
Reilly - Carlo
Lauzon - Miller

This works

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Yes

 

[elMatador]

Bottom LD for a 3rd? Just fire Sweeney before he does any more damage.
