Boston has officially put Mike Reilly on waivers to buy out his contract.
Reilly played 339 NHL games with Boston, Ottawa, Montreal and Minnesota. He spent most of last season in the AHL, where he scored 26 points in 36 games.
This is a strategic move by Donald Sweeney. He needs money to sign other players, including Tyler Bertuzzi. After trading away Tyler Hall, he might have enough to do so.
It's been reported that negotiations have happened and there's an agreement on the salary, but not on the contract length.
Tomorrow, he'll be UFA and the Bruins could lose him for nothing. More developments are expected before the opening of the free agents market.
Do you think Bertuzzi will sign in Boston?
As seen on Blade of Steel - Bruins buying out contract of defenceman, may be clearing space for Bertuzzi
