John-Michael Liles was one of two players brought over to help the team at the trade deadline. The Bruins front office knew that the current roster of defensemen weren’t cutting it, and they needed to find a cheap top-four blueliner that could help stabilize their defense. While it looked promising early, Liles just wasn’t able to help fix the problems the Bruins had, and the lack of quality two-way defensemen were one of the reasons the B’s failed to make the playoffs for the second straight year.
