Speculation: Morgan Rielly (Reporting to Marlies march 20th!) 2nd Star in Debut

[TMLOBI]

The only reason I see him not playing for the Marlies is if it takes a year off his contract. Anyone know how that rule works? I know (in a full) NHL season if a player on the first year of their ELC who still has junior eligibility plays 10 games then the contract starts and the first year is burned off. Maybe he'll get 9 games? Also do playoffs count towards that number? And of course a junior player CAN'T play in the AHL unless their junior season is over. Maybe playing 10 games in the AHL doesn't matter?

The rule could be different though because it is at the end of the season where he already played his full junior campaign.

Interesting nonetheless, Rielly on the Marlies would be good for his development! Maybe he gets the call to the show and is the Conn Smythe winner for the cup winning Leafs! You know where we SWEEP the lowly hawks.

GO LEAFS GO

Morgan and Percy should be good pairing for the Leafs in the future.

One stay home D and one can attack. I like.

I think people will find in few years that Percy will be the Leafs most dependable D

I don't think it burns off to my understanding. 10 Games fall under professional contract. Can someone please correct me on this

 

[darrylsittler27]

If Gardiner can't make it...

Why would Reilly? Gardiner will demand a trade instantly. Won't happen.

 

[RoyalGremlin]

Is he allowed to play 5 nhl games yhen go to the marlies?

I like your world.

Got burned on that one.

Checked the rules and it stated after 4 years. Personal experience with Percy was that he had played 4.

At any rate, if he can go to Marlies wouldn't be a bad intro to pro hockey considering the coaching there. Percy only got into a couple when he was there last year. Think someone was hurt at the time. Will be interesting to see what happens with Reilly.

Even the Holy Grail makes mistakes.

Four years of junior or be 20 years of age. Look it up for cripes sake!

And they would be Pejorative Slured to have him play in the NHL against some of the men they have here, as this NHL season is winding down. A great way to get a kid killed!

This is the case to put him in the Minors at the START of an NHL season. However when his WHL season is over, he can be assigned to the Marlies.

Thanks for finally clearing that up for us.

Rielly won't join the Leafs, he'll join the Marlies. If Rielly was good enough to be on the Leafs he would have made it out of camp.

 

[I am Canadian]

Isn't Rielly likely to be traded to a playoff team in the dub?

Eberle played 9 games for Springfield as an 18 year old and 11 games the following year and he didnt lose a year, so I assume AHL games after a junior season ends dont count

The trade deadline was like 2 months ago.

MJ said they are not trading him before that.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

well past whl trade deadline. He'll join the marlies in their hopeful playoff push.

 

[Mess]

If he were to play 7 games with the Leafs this season it would burn a year off his ELC contract.

So the likelihood of Leafs doing that is slim to none.

No question he will get a chance with the Marlies.

 

[RoyalGremlin]

Can he play on the leafs??

 

[MeowLeafs]

He'll be winning a Conn Smythe this June as a Leaf

So you live in the same world as the other guy! Seems nice.

I like this conn smythe world too.

[G51 K81*]

Gardiner and Reilly.... Can't wait to watch the Marlies.

 

[charliolemieux]

I live in Baconland.

Sounds yummmy.

 

[shakes]

Can't get Gardiner up here over guys like Holzer and Kostka. What makes you think that he would either. RC likes his crappy players.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

When Gunnarson or Liles are moved, Rielly could be up here as soon as Moose Jaw are gone, he may get a game or 2 with the Marlies, but I see him getting the call over Gardiner.
