Given the atrocious contacts for the so called core 4
Morgan Rielly for CAPTAIN!
We need a player with "C" on his jersey that brings it; has shown character and desire to win by taking less and committing long term.
Rielly's contract structure not fully front loaded either i.e. NOT MONEY HUNGRY

They were not his comparables his comparable was josh Morrisey not any you named above at the time rielly just started to come into his own he was behind all the above names but he should be the captain none the less he still Carries himself like a captain should

Rielly 4 years prior to his signing (2018-2021) = 186 pts in 260 games or 0.71 ppg
Hamilton 4 years prior to signing (2018 to 2021) = 165 pts in 266 games or 0.62 ppg
Werenski 4 years prior to his signing(2019 to 2022) = 153 pts in 248 games or 0.62 ppg
Seth Jones 4 years prior to his signing (2019 to 2022) = 155 pts in 265 games or 0.58 ppg
Nurse 4 years prior to his signing (2019 to 2022) = 145 pts in 280 games or 0.52 ppg
Rielly was already broken out prior to his contract signing. He was a high end offensive producing defender who had a lot of questionable defensive plays
Hamilton made simular mistakes, Jones had issues with high usage and having to try to be an elite shut down two way D, werenski was injury prone and nit great defensively. Nurse got overpaid those most, had the worat transition, offense and defense of all these guys
Rielly coming at 7.5M while those guys got 9M, 9.5M, 9.25M and 9.58M

Numbers don’t tell the whole story marner this season is a perfect example that’s what rielly does is get points he plays against the top competition this year prior to this Season that job was left to muzzin and or Brodie when he’s not on the same pair all those you name were playing the other teams best players not secondary matchups
Damn right - I have been extremely critical of his play in the past. He has been outstanding this year. Now with seeing what our other stars did, what he did with his contract - much respect.
The guy bleeds blue. Would be the best choice for captain, regardless of contract.

Hamilton was behind Slavin and maybe Pesce
Jones and Werenski both played top roles I guess but neither was elite defensively or shut down guy. Jackets had David Savard do that for a while
Nurse was behind Klefbom and Larsson. He also sucks in the main role as shutdown D
Rielly didn't chase every last dollar like the forwards have is what I am saving. He could have pressured for more but took a boat load of money while having a deal he can still live up to

Rielly has to be one of the most likeable players for sure. I'm trying so hard to like the 3 greedmigos because of their talent, but...

Not sure he would have been a major candidate for the captaincy previously since he didn't have that much term left on his contract in comparison to Tavares. Now, I can't imagine why he shouldn't be the team's next captain (whenever that need may arise).
A fine young man from all I can tell, which is more important than being the fine hockey player he is, and thankfully a Leaf for life. Plus, Tessa Virtue. Sonofagun that bastard

Jones wasn’t elite defensively ?that was the top pair that played against Matthews in the play in, you realize Slavin and Hamilton was a d pair right ?pesce was second pair but your right rielly could have gotten 500k - a mil more great guy really from what I can see

Almost looks out of place on this team considering how unselfish he is.
Took a proper discount for the team, showed loyalty with his term, and didn't even take the full NMC in those final two years. The same player would have got 9+ on the open market.
On top of this, he shows up big-time in the playoffs and is a great person (on and off the ice).
The only guy on this team I will defend to the end and I hope he becomes captain too.

Not long ago he wasn’t worth his contract either and ppl wanted to trade him cause he wasnt a hedman type #1 but i agree amazing person
I was critical of his performance during last year's regular season, but man oh man did he step up in the playoffs.
He was always a point producer and great skater, but he's still rounding out his game and showing much more responsibility in the defensive zone.
He's a beauty and we're very lucky to have him at his current price.

The only star player we have not fueled by greed.
I love you, Morgan. My favourite Leaf ever since he donned the jersey. Look forward to having him do so for many more years still to come.
Maybe, hopefully, sporting the 'C' one day, too.

He was my pick for captain before Tavares was named. Not a popular one at the time but mine nonetheless. Part of my thinking was rewarding the longest serving Maple Leaf but also given the heft of the big contracts, perhaps putting that carrot out as a sign of respect with the hope maybe it influences him to take less. Typical Mo, he didn't even need that.

Nothing against either but I am pulling for Rielly."
