Bruins acquire a defenseman
Sens Communication: The Ottawa Senators have traded defenseman Mike Reilly for a 2022 third-round pick.
Puck Pedia: “After adding Reilly ($1M Cap Hit, $362K for remainder of year), the #NHLBruins have $800K of Projected Cap Space, worth $3.3M Annual Cap Hit now. This includes 24 on Active Roster (13F/9D/2G); could send players to taxi to add room.”
Conor Ryan: “Mike Reilly, 27, have a pretty strong season for Ottawa — 19 points in 40 games. Real good transition game — which the Bruins sorely miss with McAvoy + Grzelcyk out. Pending UFA.”
Mike Reilly, acquired by BOS, is a quite effective offensive defenceman who has had pretty remarkable underlying results since joining the Ottawa Senators. His transition skills are strong, awesome offence-driving and primary assist rates too. #LetsGoBruins pic.twitter.com/4K8TnOHBmX

Devils acquire Siegenthaler from the Capitals
Samantha Pell: Washington Capitals defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler was traded to the New Jersey Devils for a 2021 third-round pick.
Samantha Pell: “Word from Siegenthaler’s camp is that they are happy about the move to New Jersey, felt like it was a bit of a relief that he will go and get some playing time. Also good friends with Nico Hischier.”
Corey Masisak: “Jonas Siegenthaler is eligible for the Seattle expansion draft. The Capitals had too many guys to protect, and as I wrote a couple weeks ago, the Devils could be short on defensemen who need to be protected. Siegenthaler will now likely be one of the three NJ protects.”
