<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Achan and Tinordi lead the d in minutes tonight. Zboril is so bad he was last in minutes on a patchwork unit. Lauzon is a 3rd pair d man masquerading as a top 4 guy. Sadly i could make a case that Reilly is the best LHD man on the roster.

They have not missed out on anyone. There is not much for D available.</div></div>

As the bruins have 4 of their 6 season opening players out injured for tonight's game I wouldn't start comparing tonights game to analyze the bruins defense. Especially considering they have a top 5 GAA in the league. With Zboril having the most games played among all bruins dmen this season and Lauzon is 3rd. They've had 12 different dmen play this year and still have a playoff spot in the toughest division which is a pretty good indicator of their depth.

The point is that the comparables that have been moved so far are Montour, Merril and Nemeth and now Reilly. In my opinion (based on more then points) Reilly is the worst of the three. and he was traded for the highest price (3rd round pick).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>And he sucked. They tried it was because their LD was horrible. And he still wasn’t an improvement. He never was a big prospect, they were just desperate.

I’d rather have Reilly than Vatanen and Mete combined. Mete is pretty likely claimed by someone before it gets to Boston and Vatanen should probably be playing in the KHL.</div></div>

By what metric is he better then Mete other than points?

The point is that Mike Reilly is a depth defenseman that Boston could have filled the same roll without having to give up assets. Bruins clearly had other options to fill the same role, they've struck out on other omre meaningful options as they do every year and then go out and waste assets where it is completely unnecessary.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Heyhowareya37</b></div><div>Well Vatanen has 6 points, Reilly has 19. I know offense isnt everything but it is worth noting. The big difference is Vatanen at 4.5 mil limits the bruins ability to continue to add before tomorrow. Reilly at 1.5 gives them more flexibility. Also, I think Reilly is a better fit, the B's already have a smaller statured puck mover, and do not need to add a lesser one at a more expensive number.</div></div>

Vatanen is a 2M cap hit.

and the bruins have one smaller statured puck mover in their lineup (Grez). their biggest issue is getting hemmed in their own zone without having good first pass breakouts.

The point isn't that Reilly has clearly gotten off to a good season in Ottawa its that the Bruins clearly had other options to fill the same role, they've struck out on other omre meaningful options as they do every year and then go out and waste assets where it is completely unnecessary.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>Reilly is better than Vatanen and 18 teams have a waiver claim priority on Mete.</div></div>

Reilly may be marginally better than Vantanen but is it a game breaking difference? Vatanen could have been had for free, which I feel everyone can agree the Bruins need all the picks they can get to replenish a depleted farm system, and with Mete on waivers they could at least wait to see if he get claims at this point he hasn't been claimed yet. Chances are Ottawa may end up claiming, in which case they could have had to put Reilly on waivers.

The point for me is that Boston has been horrible with their asset management over the years, and there is really no point in trading picks for depth players at this point. The bruins depth has clearly been tested and they have plenty of it. They have been plagued by injuries for the majority of this season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Absolutely not. He’s a 30 year old power forward. The list of guys that play his style that fell off a cliff at 30 is a really really long one. Lucic, backes. Clowe. The list goes on and on and on. Palmieri’ s time as come. He isn’t good anymore.</div></div>

I'd trade for him just so he doesn't score against Boston (5 Goals this season) in their final two games against NJ. lol

All jokes aside, Palmieri won't be getting any better but I do think he fits the bruins window of cup contention, he is having a down year but I think that has more to do with his team and less to do with him. Realistically they probably only have another year or two to push for a cup and Palmieri would be willing to sign a team friendly deal to be in Boston
