Explain

Reilly is better than Vatanen and 18 teams have a waiver claim priority on Mete.

Rielly is playing well this year. Likely better then both, good depth for Boston.

Very true
Vatanen is a shell of his former self.
Been very inconsistent this year
And quite soft

Mete and Vatanen suck, that’s why.

Reilly has played 70 games in OTT in 2 years. Has 31 points. How many 30 point d men does Boston have?

If Mete was any good Montreal would not have brought in half dozen mediocre d men to play ahead of him the last 2 years. They finally realized he’s nothing more than a roster filler. Rest of the league fan bases should follow suit.

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.
