Well, I can see the trolls are out today. My gawd, friend, no one offered better? As in they couldn’t because he signed the new deal in season and no other team had the chance to tender? And really, the Orr comparison…try harderReilly just wants to score goals and win the Norris cause he thinks he’s Bobby Orr. He took that contract cause no one offered bet
Anyone who actually cares about defensive impact of defencemen shouldn’t at all be surprised that the Leafs improved defensively when Rielly got hurt. He is bad defensively. He always has been. Not Tyson Barrie level of bad, but he’s not good.
Totally agree....terrible defensively, no shot, low IQ and the team is doing better without him since he has been out. Trade him for a quality F.Anyone who actually cares about defensive impact of defencemen shouldn’t at all be surprised that the Leafs improved defensively when Rielly got hurt. He is bad defensively.

Not a coincidence imoTotally agree....terrible defensively, no shot, low IQ and the team is doing better without him since he has been out. Trade him for a quality F.
While the negatives about Rielly posted in this thread are true, his net effect on the game are positive anyway. He does make us a better team. I just hope that he's watching, and buys into this defensive system and game, and is a little more tidy when he returns.
And congrats to Timmins, for showing he can be a useful everyday NHL player. I hope that his ascendancy continues. If it does, perhaps we get some flexibility next year, as Holl moves on.
I honestly thought I would never say this... but he is not missed..... the team is firing on all cylinders and playing incredible hockey, why screw with something that is working.... trade him
Someone has skipped every playoffs since 2017-2018People are telling about his points ... but we don't need them, have enough offensive firepower. I really really hope he is watching how the team plays right now and buys into it, starts playing defense first.
But I am not very hopeful in that, Murray and Samsonov need to take advantage of the opportunity and get as many shutouts as possible while Rielly is out ...
Unless the team feels a sense of relief and backs off their level of play. I hope not but it does happenHe’s not missed because the team is playing fantastic. If they can continue to play this way when he returns, they’ll be even better.
This makes the most sense why mess with Lily and Sandin when they’ve been so good. Let Brodie and Reilly fit back in together and keep pairings that are working intact.Back to the original pairings:
Rielly Brodie
Sandin Liljegren
Gio Holl
