They won the Cup in 2011 with Kelly as their 3rd line center, Riley is a solid fit. I like that Backes is available to play center if needed at 3CI’d feel better about this trade if the Bruins weren’t left with a weaker third line as a result. I love the way Riley Nash has been playing this year but I don’t think he’s the kind of guy you want getting 3rd line mins in the playoffs.
Aaannnd as I type this it looks as though Brian Gionta is the guy the bruins think will fill that hole.
