"Boston is full of rats and junkies"

"There's no talent pool, guys are still being recruited but how many of those guys are capable"

Laughing when the guy said "New England" is in great shape.

I don't know if he meant New England itself, or just the mob as a whole. But the Boston faction, is more than just rats and junkies. Now that Carmen's out, his whole immediate crew aside from his brother is out on the street with him. That's at least four guys who are known earners and have hair trigger tempers. Word is Marino & Scarpelli are pretty close to getting their button, if they haven't already. And you have older guys from Providence & NE due out pretty soon, if they haven't been released already. The only thing is, with Carmen out and his direct underlings being out too, the law enforcement are watching them pretty much 24/7. They aren't in as bad of a shape as you think they are, man.
