We’re just gonna have to learn to live with Rielly, warts and all. He has all the control if he refuses to waive. Given that, I’d change his deployment and make him an overpaid 2nd pairing or 3rd pairing guy. I know this will sound counter-intuitive, but maybe try him at killing penalties in camp/preseason. If he’s a “puck mover” who isn’t adding value to the power play, then maybe see if he can move the puck out of the zone on the PK where he’s not expected to join a rush or carry the puck.
Whatever the case, the Rielly situation needs to change and it’s a pipe dream to hope he gets traded. He won’t waive. Nobody wants him. You’d have to retain and practically give him away even if he agreed to waive. It would basically be a salary dump. Not gonna happen, so change his deployment.
