Morgan Rielly

[Gabriel426]

I'm not claiming Rielly is amazing, just that his lack of defensive game is made up for with his offensive game (much like Nylander), and that he is one of the best D on the team...

Nylander is normally said to be the best player or at least better than Marner, that is why his defensive game is brought up.

I know you thought you did something here, but you didn't.

Both are really good players, but not the best on the team.

Rielly is also not even close to as bad as people are claiming in this thread.

I have no idea what you thought I did but that didn’t.

Just brought up a point that you brought up in another thread, that’s all.

Why was he "sleep deprived"?

It's not like Rielly was a flawlessly great player when he was a newly wed or bachelor either.

Morgan Rielly places 25th in scoring among defensemen in the NHL in 2024-25 so based on your criteria of out scoring his problems he is among the worst as far as 1D are concerned.

Glad playoffs are not important anymore.

Do we need to go back to Rielly's Game 7 playoff portfolio?

I know when you have to isolate specific games your argument is terrible... so sure, please do that.

Do you think it is a good or bad thing that the team is winning when Rielly is on the ice?

Advanced stats and real metrics show Rielly was one of the better D on the team.
