add to that the rule from 2013, where September 15th is the cutoff date..... Bergeron's case was different when he was assigned because there was no NHL Team or league due to the 2004 lockout and eventually cancellation of the 2004 season... the AHL continued as did the ECHL because it's a separate union than the NHL (PHPA)18 and 19 yr olds have to get an exemption to play in the AHL...... THE minimum is 20 yr old independent of the CHL Agreement;

Draft position means nothing the day after your draft.
Lias Andersson has struggled to make it to the NHL.
With a team that just cut ties with Jack Studnicka, I'd think they are not currently looking to grab an NHL project.
That said, he is the kind of player to take a chance on if your team can handle the growing pains. I wouldn't be surprised to see Van take a shot at him, too.

do you like reilly, or just think smith is the better guy to dump? ideally you lose them both.

It's baffling to me people advocating for Zboril over Gryz. Zboril has to be one of the dumbest players I've ever seen wear a spoked B. He makes half a dozen boneheaded plays a game.
I'll take Gryz and his skating and skill over Zboril any day.

This team always seems to be short D. Carlo and Gryz are generally an injury worry.

It was clear he had special IQ as an 18 year old, but it was under Julien when he was 23 or so that IQ really started to blossom into the player we think of today.
I know this is a secret Nico question. Don't put that kind of pressure on Nico.

Gryz has shown that he is no use in the playoffs. Too small, too easily targeted, too easily injured. Reilly shies away from contact when faced with a heavy forecheck; pretty much an every game playoff scenario. Both can go. Zboril may have more upside once he gets some more games in and gets some of the bad decision making out of his game. He was playing very well when he got hurt last year.

fair point. i'd ditch reilly now and find another depth guy later in the year.
he doesn't strike me as a guy who would enjoy the AHL very much.
had to rework his career after his concussion, thankfully not only did his excellent work ethic and IQ lead to his legendary D, but his offensive game rebounded
scored 31 goals in his sophomore season.The Bruins should get rid of Smith and call Toronto and ask for Malgin. He would be a cheap Smith replacement and probably provide a bit more offensively than Smith. Sadly Toronto has no cap, otherwise I am sure they would take Reilly in a heartbeat, as their D is atrocious.

Smith is wearing down and fading but is much better than most here think. If there was any other way to dump substantial cap dollars, I would find it.

Although he definitely has value, especially on PK, couldn’t you also move Nosek for a draft pick? That clears $1.75M and you can put the surplus on a gift certificate.
I don’t know, I haven’t really been impressed with his game so far this season. If they have to choose between him or Reilly I’m probably keeping Reilly. Zboril’s been a pretty big disappointment so keeping Reilly adds some insurance if Zboril doesn’t improve. When Marchand and Krejci are back there’s not really a place for Smith anymore. Zacha will move to the third line and there’s nobody in the bottom six that he would be pushing out unless it’s Frederic/Greer but he’s not much better than either one and he’s getting the most money.
Wait I just realized that when McAvoy comes back there’s really no place for Reilly or Zboril. So in that case you’d ideally want to move both (Smith/Reilly) if you can.

Bruins lack of C depth , probably the reason they dont want to trade him
But I agree... it is an option. You can drop Frederic to play 4c

No, it doesn't clear that much. He has already spent time on the roster and would until a trade happens and that cap hit doesn't get removed after a trade.
And as I wrote in the article: it depends on whether the Bruins want to cover part or all of the Bergeron/Krejci/Swayman bonuses and how much they want to bank for trade deadline..
The move is gonna be coming soon
I think Reilly is the guy there moving

Just how much is it gonna cost us?
He was on waivers just under a month ago. No takers.
His play definitely didn't hurt his value, but will it cost anything to take him? Or will it just be a contract/contract?

I figured that depth guy was Stralman
Things change, defensemen get hurt, teams cap situation shifts, money can be witheld in a trade.
