I can appreciate people being disappointed with Rielly's defensive game. I'd ask them to remember the rotating cast of partners he's been asked to play with over the years. And, questionable goaltending that we have received during much of that period. He is not a defensive stalwart. However, imo if you look at the above numbers and then try to argue he is an overpaid 3rd, or even a low ranked 2nd defenseman, all I can do is shake my head in disbelief.
I know right. He is playing like a number 1 and getting paid like a 2/3 he has took two home town discounts and yet is still attacked. He has been underrated by Leaf fans.
