Why does he have to go? He’s playing well, and someone is the 4th LW without teams time.

You think they’ll waive him? It’s not like moving him clears enough cap
I get it, you’re deeply biased against him. This is just silly now
McLaughlin proved he’s an NHL player the same way Petr Kalus did

yes and he will not bring the physicality that Fredrics brings , but move Fredrics and bring in a less physical player and the Bruins fans can bitch about the team not playing the heavy game , they need something to make themselves feel better..
Yes the guy with 2 points in 12 AHL games is a better fit than Frederic, who is producing twice as much at the nhl level

I am not a fan of TF ,but he has been getting better and playing better, even fought at a reasonable time the other night. Low man on the totem pole is Greer, who does not have trade value unfortunately.

Greer or Lauko would be an upgrade over Smith
It also looks like Montgomery is positioning Carlo and Gryz as an elite bottom pair. He loves Forbort and Clifton.
Frederic to me is a keeper in the bottom six for a long time.

Enjoy Clifton while he is playing well , I think the shine will be off him at some point especially if he plays top four minutes .............

Trade Smith + Reilly....profit.
Anyone wanting Freddy or Greer gone should shake their heads.

twice now teams could literally have taken Reilly for free. All passed.
So the question becomes what do you give up for some team to take him?

Fair.
Now he's stashed for a rainy day when someone gets hurt I guess?
You wait ,three weeks before Forbort returns and a lot can change in three weeks. Injuries happen

Moore pretty much cost us a second round pick. Reilly is overpriced, but at least serviceable: I'd think it's gonna take a third round pick and I'd do it.

Frederic is more deserving of his 3rd line spot than Smith right now. Smith on 4th last night I know, but he and Nosek really don't impress me right now. I feel like a better 4C would be huge for the playoffs. Hoping Smith gets back to his old ways. He's been bone dry since the playoffs last year.
What's our deadline cap space looking like right now ? If dumping Reilly and Smith help that, let's go full on TB and add a Kane or O'Reilly to this team.

Exactly , do not make panic moves and start trading picks to move contracts , this is the NHL alot can happen in three weeks . Not a Reilly fan never have been but he is only 29 someone will be seeking him out at some point , even if you move him on the cheap , hold firm is my take on this scenario that Sweeney as orchestrated so badly..........

The problem with Reilly isn't Reilly the hockey player. It's not even the cap hit. Teams just don't want the second year.
I know one team that would have taken him on the waiver wire but balked because of that second year.
So, a trade becomes a better option for anyone who would be interested. You can get the Bruins to retain or to add a sweetener. Or both.

I do not want to trade Smith, but we have to trade him and Reilly by January if not sooner so we can improve ourselves at the deadline. Maybe Sweeney can do it all in a week, but that is not the way to go.

That's true. I forgot/made a mistake as I was thinking long term. One of them, probably Smith, will be gone in three weeks.
Do you have any sense on if there's a market for Smith? Feel like he's the next man up on the waiver wire to make room for Forbort. Would be great if we could get anything in return for him, but would settle for simply getting claimed since that would dramatically help the cap.

Reilly (at the very least) is going to take an asset to get rid of.
If Smith is that asset, great, but I have a feeling he's approaching negative value as well.

Honestly with how few teams have cap space, and the non-competitive status of the teams that do have cap space, I think a shocking amount of players in the league have “negative value”.

I agree.
And that's a problem.
I guess for teams that can take on salary, that's good way to take advantage.

Yup just like the news today...Werenski out for the year. Blue Jackets are down bad. Boqvist on IR as well.
They only have two LHD in Gavrikov and Jake Bean, with the former potentially being a haul for them at the TDL...
Who is going to run a PP back there for them as well? Reilly may make some sense there.
