Are the Bs taking calls on other d-men besides Mike Reilly?
With that caveat likely in any Smith or Reilly trade, this puck scribe wondered aloud to the aforementioned NHL exec, what about trading defenseman Brandon Carlo being the odd-man out via a trade?
As per Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now:
'' �With the emergence of Forbort as their best stay-at-home guy and PK defenseman, and [Connor] Clifton seemingly taking that next step finally, would the Bruins listen to trade offers for Carlo or even shop him?' yours truly wondered allowed on Sunday night.''
�' �You may be onto something. I like Brandon a lot, but he might be worth more to another team,' the NHL exec replied. Depends on how the bruins view their depth. You wouldn't have to add any sweetener with him, that's for sure. Brandon has value around the league. Maybe a team like Seattle takes him?''

Carlo's contract has four seasons remaining on his contract after this season. The honest read here is that this would be an offseason trade if it ever happens. Carlo still holds plenty of clout in the leadership core of the Boston Bruins, and with his team off to a record-breaking start, would Sweeney want to chance disrupting team chemistry right now?
