Morgan Rielly

[banks]

I'm fine to trade or buy out Rielly. He no longer does the job of a #1 offensive defenceman. I made many posts this last season about how Toronto really needs to add a #1D. I even posted that I'd love to add Seth Jones, then lo and behold he is part of the team that eliminates us.

But you can't do 1 without the other. You can't ditch Morgan and just have a bunch of 2nd pair guys left on the team. I know Mo wasn't a #1 anymore anyway. But that's one of the reasons for the team's failure. Get a proper #1 who can handle big minutes and the powerplay.

With the money saved from Marner, it should be possible.

It is so relieving to see everyone is finally seeing how terrible Rielly is.

Rielly has low hockey IQ...pinches at the worst times wanting to be the hero, and can't defend a 2-on-1. Man, what a move by Florida to snatch up Seth Jones.

OR get all the Hughes brother to Toronto. Those boys spent more time than any of us at the SBA

More of the same if we get the Hughes here. Not my cup of tea. Just another Marner and Reilly!!!!

Would definitely rather have bigger grittier skilled guys to replace Marner and Reilly. Not the same types of problems.

Quinn is a Top 3 Dman in the League.

Not what we need. Give me a dman that is tough as nails on backend that can fire the puck. Thats what we need, not these small guys that are afraid to mix it up and my 5 year old grandson has a hard shot from the point. Something in the Parayko mold or Hamilton.

How about this:

Vancouver get Reilly
New Jersey get Hughes
Toronto get Pesce or Hamilton

Mix in some pieces here and there from each team and make it happen. This reminds me of the deal back in the day which was a 3 team deal but on forwards side in 1995.

Wendel Clark to NYI
Steve Thomas to NJ
Claude Lemieux to Colorado

It was always funny listening to people arguing about what a "high IQ" Rielly had based on little more than his ability to speak well in interviews. Glad to see people can finally recognize and admit how clueless in defensive coverage he's always been.

OR get Meier from NJ and sign Ekblad in the off season along with Bennett

Meir is grossly overpaid at 8.8 million per for the next 6 yrs. Unless NJ is willing to eat 25% of the salary then I am not interested. Would rather have the D coming back. Shit I would be willing to take Brendan Dillion and other prospects\picks to get rid of Reilly

We have tough guys. You've gotta have at least one like Hughes (who, obviously, we will never acquire...)

Lmfao firstly rielly isn't worth any of those guys and in your proposal your going to get a significant inferior dmen to Hughes because he isn't strong? Man I have a bridge to sell you

So Vancouver gives up the best young defenseman in the world and gets back Reilly?

He needs to go. Part of the problem around here

Been long enough to be one of those " nice" guys to be around. Also a very nice guy to play against. Just too easy

Time to move on
