Well, doesn't exactly sound like a player closing in on a Norris.

He’s still he’s a good player but I think that 70 point season was an outlier.

Leafs have never has a Norris Trophy winner in their entire history, so the fit is there.

Not necessarily, he's young so he's got a chance of hitting 70 points again over his next contract

The question is can he do it consistently

Yeah, Rielly has had a 72, 68 and 58 point seasons but that hasn't exactly translated to a very good all around defenseman.

Yes, some very good defenders just play through HOF defender careers.

Leafs haven't had one challenging that since Salming, and I doubt Dobson will be that.

Salming runner-up twice top 5, 7 times.

Love to have someone who is top 5 in the NHL 7 times once again.

It would be nice but with our history of drafting and developing defenseman I'm not holding my breath

A Frederic + Carlo package from Boston would be real nice.

Not sure about that. 70 pints with the pop-gun Isles offense is unusual. They were not a top 20 team offensively last season. Compare that to Mo's breakout year where the Leafs were top 4 in scoring. I suspect he could be a lot more productive feeding the Leaf offense. An improved Mo playing on the right solves major issues for the next several years. I just think they will get better offers than what the Leafs can put together.

Of course he could be question is how do we get him on the roster and Rielly off

Yes it would. Not sure that’s a cheap package to acquire.
