<p>The big deadline prize is coming to Boston?</p> <p id="YMgdVG">Well folks, it appears that the Bruins didn’t like their big Sunday night headline being “Bruins lose 8-1 to Washington.”</p>
<p id="0gdAyJ">After first <a href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/2021/4/11/22379191/bruins-trade-deadline-bruins-acquire-mike-reilly-ottawa-senators-bruins-trade-rumors-news">acquiring Mike Reilly from the Ottawa Senators</a>, reports indicate that the Bruins are acquiring Taylor Hall from the <a href="https://www.diebytheblade.com">Buffalo Sabres</a>.</p>
<p id="Qc8y4x">It first started with Darren Dreger, who noted that the Bruins were reportedly acquiring forward Curtis Lazar from Buffalo, but potentially as part of a bigger deal.</p>

<p>Well, there’s some depth on defense.</p> <p id="LRPiN4">Shortly after the pummeling at the hands of the <a href="https://www.japersrink.com">Washington Capitals</a> ended, the Bruins announced that they’ve made their first move of Trade Deadline Season, acquiring defenseman Mike Reilly from the <a href="https://www.silversevensens.com">Ottawa Senators</a>.</p>
<p id="EqpsMu">In exchange, the Bruins are sending Ottawa a third-round pick in the 2022 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nhl-draft">NHL Draft</a>.</p>
<p id="9bBZ89">Reilly is a 27-year-old, left-shot defenseman. He’s played 40 games for the Senators this season, recording 19 assists in the process.</p>
<p id="eZhWor">What do the Fancy Stats say?</p>

<p id="FjI1Sx">Yes, the Fancy Stats say that this was an upgrade for the Bruins (especially when it only cost them a third a year from now).</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Mike Reilly, acquired by BOS, is a quite effective offensive defenceman who has had pretty remarkable underlying results since joining the Ottawa Senators.

<p id="58UKNG">Reilly will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.</p>
<p id="5vE20G">The 6’ 2” defender is a Minnesota native and was drafted by the <a href="https://www.jacketscannon.com">Columbus Blue Jackets</a> in the fourth round back in 2011 (hey, that was a good year for the Bruins).</p>
<p id="MMBvsc">It’s unlikely that this is the only move the Bruins will make, but it’s certainly a decent start.</p>
<p id="j0mjbv">Welcome to Boston, Mike!</p>
