IMO boston just does not have the prospect depth to be able to acquire chychrun without giving up at least one of lysell or lohrei or even studnicka

Bruins Defenseman don’t score because of Cassidy’s offensive system, they barley take any shots from the point. Mcavoy grez and Reilly are very capable at scoring they just don’t take those chances and pass up way too many shots from the point.

Assuming the asking price from FLA still holds wouldn't be too surprised if ARI wanted ALL three of them of them.

Reilly has 12 goals in 7 years. 4 this year, career high.

He doesn’t score simply because he’s not that guy. Piles up assists, good passer.

The funny thing is 4 goals in 42 games is a lot for a bruins defenseman under Cassidy

this is a wildly false statement.

This statement in its self is so contradictory that it literally makes no sense. Cassidy has mentioned plenty of times the D need to shoot the puck more, and encourages them to jump into the play if it's available to them

No it’s not look at every defenseman’s goal totals for the bruins, krug was the only defenseman to score over 10 goals and he only did it once under Cassidy

He can say all he wants the play on the ice speaks for itself

If you think Cassidy's system is bad for defense production, should've seen Julian's system. You would throw a fit.

Point shots are among the least frequent type of shots to go in the net and become a goal. Sure, you take some from time to time and you hope for a tip/deflection/redirect but the problem isn't the goals from the defensemen. Bruins can be (at least) in the first half of points by D but since the forwards struggle finishing, defensemen don't get a point and some people think they're the problem (like here). McAvoy, Grzelcyk and Reilly are all good/great offensively but the forwards really need to finish and that's how the D will pick up more points. It's not by spamming point shots and have 2/3 of those blocked.
