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

[13Hockey]

Not a lot of sense now. How does this help this year?

we get a 40 point pace playmaking NHL D to play in our top 6 over the likes of Zboril, Clifton, and Kampfer

There are just some bizzaro world takes going on.

Did you anticipate the 2022 3rd round pick to help this year?

 

[Bodit9]

Probably not due to the expansion draft. Maybe after it depending on how well he plays.

Right. Obviously after the expansion draft I mean. Only 27. Shouldn't command a ton of money.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Maybe this is Sweeney finally helping Cassidy.

When healthy, you don't need to play the kids

I think they gave up on Zboril. He can't get a shot on net to save his life and doesn't seem to do anything that well.

He started off pretty well and maybe if he gets back with Miller it will work but it's now Plan B. Plus he sure looked banged up tonight

 

[Alicat]

What?

I think he came out from under his rock for 24 hours...

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

This is my thinking, as well.

Lauzon-McAvoy
Gryz-Carlo
Reilly-Miller

Much more solid unit. Also shows that management isn't ready to throw in the towel. Hopefully there are some bigger moves tonight/tomorrow.

Maybe the poster is actually from the future and is confused what year it is.

It so reminds me of the night we got Kelly from Ottawa. After a game (tho I think we won that game) and no one here had a clue who he was for the most part, including myself. The takes were pretty hot here especially when they said it was for a 2nd rounder while Ottawa was pretty sad.

Going to go with his stats and small video sample show he's a solid upgrade and that I can't wait to see what he does when he plays.

I’d rather Lauzon on the 3rd pair . I don’t know nothing about Reilly but can he play 2nd pair with Carlo ?

Don’t pick on me for driving a delaurian.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Hey I'm an asshole. I beat on Sweeney pretty hard over the years.

But this is where the doom-and-gloom crowd totally loses me.

No one is saying Reilly is good enough by himself. No one is claiming that he's a cinch on the top pair. He's a depth add that we needed. And a good one.

But "holy f*** a THIRD two drafts from now?? Why don't you just punch out my teeth and shit down my throat??!" This is INSANE overreaction. Sweeney needs to be fired FOR THIS TRADE?

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Well the NYI just picked up the other Ottawa defence man for a 7th
round conditional pick announced after ours.

Hmm..Ottawa was keeping it hush hush..a conditional flipping seventh!

Plenty of other reasons to fire him. This isn’t one. I want him gone as I’m not a fan anymore but as long as he’s here, I want Boston to win. We’ll see what else he does. It’s a small piece that can’t be it but it’s a good start.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Will Donny try to extend him?

Absolutely, if he's good. But not until after the expansion draft.

 

[maineblackbear]

To be honest, the Bruins have easy thing to fix. Need at home protect goalie. When they don’t have that they get stuck in their end. So...

Yikes. I’d rather have Reilly AINEC.

Same here

You are aware that Coburn’s career is essentially over right? He was on their taxi squad. Reilly was an everyday player who produced.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you did literally no research

 

[maineblackbear]

I think their staff did well recruiting goalies and forwards. I don’t think they have done well recruiting solid defensive defensemen. It seems they recruit offensive d men. And we lack a backbone because of it. So. As such, the recruiter of defensive d men should take blame, or the d development guy.

[DiggityDog]

The people who bitch about trading draft picks are the same crowd who hate every pick Sweeney makes.

aka these people are never happy

 

[2011 Stanley cup]

On of Worst defenseman of the league. Sorry im not a fan.

 

[The don godfather]

Good move we need help back there. The guys only 27 and hopefully we resign him. His a minus 2 on a pathetic sens team and has put friggin 19 points. Hes pretty damn effective.
