Morgan Rielly

Jones would have been a great add for this team. He's the minute eating OFD that Toronto's been missing on the blueline.

There's a chance that Carlo makes Rielly adequate for the next season or two. But I wouldn't wait until the wheels fall off completely. If Carlo can play with MO, he can play with anyone. So ditch, trade, buy-out Mo and get a real offensive minute eater. Find a way.

I like Rielly, but I do wonder what kind of trade market he has. If Ekblad (I doubt he leaves) or Provorov/Gavrikov (more likely, but Toronto hasn't had much success with Russians) can be signed I'd look at moving him.

Vancouver would be an ideal scenario if they bite the bullet and move Hughes to NJ (a scenario that I think is more likely than Canucks fans would like to admit). St. Louis is another potential fit, I just dont know what that return would look like. 0 interest in Cryou, but I'm sure neither him nor Berube would want a reunion either. I could also see Calgary in a somewhat lateral move for Andersson.

I've seen some Rangers ideas around Zibanejad floated around, massive pass on that one. He's just a poor man's Matthews, and i mean that in the most disrespectful way possible to both of them. Overpaid, horrible work ethic, random disappearing acts.

Even in the unlikely scenario where he waives his NMC, who is trading for him? The only team I can think of who might be that misguided is Vancouver.

Vancouver is the perfect victim. They are just dumb enough to take the bait.

Could’ve fooled me with his performance in game 7.
