I will die on this hill. Rielly will suit up in the blue and white for at least three more seasons, at which point he has a 10 no trade list. Then, maybe, he’s gone.
You’ll be right but for the wrong reasons. Leafs management doesn’t have the brains or the balls to lean on him hard enough to trade him.
going to be interesting if the Leafs move Rielly.
I think they will need another puck moving Dman to replace him, unless the trade is for KarlssonRielly must go but Karlsson won’t fix the problem at his age and price.
Grzelcyk is still a UFA who scored 40 points this year. I don’t know what he’s holding out for but if he wants anything equal to or less than 4.5 AAV for 3 or 4 years (similar to OEL), the Leafs could do it. It would be an overpayment but Grzelcyk doesn’t have many reasons to sign here other than being overpaid and that’s a price the Leafs could afford.
Grzelcyk is usually a 20-25 point guy but did have 40 this past season. Rielly only had 41 last year. So even if Grzelcyk goes back to score 25-30 points, he’s still better value than Rielly while playing the same role of smooth skating, passing, offensive LHD. Grzelcyk also played on most of the Bruins teams that beat the Leafs in the playoffs so he has playoff experience on successful teams. He’s undersized but if the Leafs put him with Carlo or acquire Tyler Myers, they can balance that issue out.
With the average age of the Leafs D, they just need 3 pairings of guys who can share the load. They can’t expect any one pairing to play 25 min a night. They need one PP specialist, whom they already have with OEL and they need basic puck movers who get the puck out of trouble and transition like Grzelcyk. They don’t need Rielly or Karlsson to do that when their defensive game is non-existent.
Rielly should have already been traded to Vancouver as part of the Joshua deal. They could have made that bigger and included Tyler Myers. Joshua and Myers for Rielly would have worked perfectly.
The Leafs also need to make sure they have 3 LHD and 3 RHD. Putting a LHD on the right side will not work as they have tried it and it never ends well.
OEL | Tanev
Grzelcyk | T. Myers
McCabe | Carlo
BenoitIf the blueline looks like that and is deployed 20 min for each pairing, the Leafs would be a much better team.
Ug please. You and your maga playbook can barely get yourself out of an open sleeping bag.
I know facts hurt your little follower brain and that you are drawn to lies and propaganda like a useless flie to orange maga shit, but take a break.
Once in a while, take off your bandana mask, your made in china make whities great again hat and breath in a little reality.Stick to hockey BlueAnon.
Fuck off UG, you’re a useless tool. You couldn’t eviscerate shit. Pathetic PoS.
I think we should all meet at a public place…see who spouts the same bullshit in-person as they do on the boards. It sure as shit wouldn’t be you, pussy.
ROFL, we all know your playbook by now. This is from whatever page describes what to do when someone makes a point you can’t debate or defend.
Wrong. I could eviscerate his and your idiotic headline click bait point of view of events but this is a hockey forum. You started it and I’m ending it. Stick to hockey.
And why every single republifascist voted to not release them. Must be because of all the dems on it.
Stick to hockey. Your IQ drops 50 points when you talk politics.
Not sold on McMann. I’d like to see them move him, on the back of his 20 goal season.
He was horrible in the playoffs. He has done well for himself, found him on the scrap heap for nothing but he’s got more value in a trade than to the Leafs long term. He only has 1 year left on his deal, on the cheap and 20 goals to his name. He’s always been injured so get value now before he goes down again and really gives you nothing.
Don’t think this moves the needle much, wasn’t Laughton shaping up to be our 4C?
Edit: Actually, this might work out fairly well. If he can return to form from a few years ago, he can provide some depth scoring. Seems to me like the Leafs are moving away from being overly top heavy on the scoring side to spreading things out across four lines. He plays a physical game, no? Big boy for sure.
purely looking at 5v5 stats, he had 1 big outlier season in 2023, big PDO bender and sh%
the season before and this last one were both…not greatrisky, doesnt give me a lot of hope.
Agreed. But big body, throws hits. Not bad qualities for the playoffs. If he scores 15 and hits, he’s already better than Robertson.
the Epstein files are just a big Democrat hoax.
Must be why Obama and Biden were in such a big rush to release them in the 12 years they ran the country.
Oh, wait…
Joshua to the Leafs
no idea if thats goodLow risk, big body, throws a lot of hits, might be okay defensively but he was a big minus player and only had 7 goals last year.
He’s a big project for a low cost. Odd that the Leafs traded him in the first place.
I forgot forgot my password for the other site. Probably a good thing.
Did you try 0000?
I guess it helped that I openly said that I guess I can ban people for 3 months since nobody seems to give a fuck anymore lol
Open abuse of power.
It’s usually best to keep the LHD on the left and the RHD on the right, except in rare situations like the PP.
I was saying Tanev is not Seth Jones, not Carlo. But you’re right, neither is like Jones. Jones could take over a game. He did more than once against the Leafs. The Leafs don’t have that, on the left or the right. They just have Rielly who does have tremendous playoff puck luck offensively but terrible defensively. And year after year, it’s cost them in the playoffs.I can agree with this. The Leafs do need another above average Right-handed defenseman. They keep floating Karlsson out there. If they’d take Rielly off of our hands and gave the Leafs $2M retained for the last 2 years of Karlsson, than go for that. It could also include other pieces, where Pittsburgh gets a player like McMann or Robertson and the Leafs get a second rounder, or a good 3rd line forward in return. Would Rielly like to play with Sid and Gino? Back with Dubas? Let’s see if that could play.
Why would Pittsburgh take the worse player in the trade and then retain salary?!?!?!
And why they hell would Rielly go to Pittsburgh?!?!
Because, didn’t you know?! Everybody loves the Leafs! Especially jilted former GMs!
Kadri is out there as a name. Send Calgary Hildebeast, Robertson and a prospect or pick to retain some salary, 25%.
Too bad we couldn’t trade for a few years of Patty Kane. Detroit is light on D, send them Rielly for P Kane and a Pick.
Dump Jarn, Kampf, and any other scraps to below the Cap teams.And viola, Cap Compliant and Balanced ready for the playoffs and a fucking CUP!!!
Knies, Mattews, P. Kane
Kadri, Tavares, Nylander
Domi, Roy, Maricelli
Lorentz, Laughton, PezzMcCabe, Tanev
OEL, Carlo
Benoit, Myers/Danforth/???Stoli
WollDepending on the leftover Cap space look for an upgrade for a bottom RHD…Myers should do
You must be smoking Leafs laced fentanyl to come up with this retarded shit.
So you prefer Kadri over JT got ya, well the leafs didn’t and you can’t keep both when you have Matthews too.
And you hate the new guy? What? You’re so shocking with your statements.
Kadri at 4.25 AAV doesn’t destroy the Leafs cap situation like Tavares did. The Tavares signing guaranteed that Nylander, Matthews and Marner were all going to make more.
If they had kept Kadri, the Leafs would have had plenty of cap space to fill out the blueline and the bottom-six. Considering Tavares has less career playoff points than Matthews, Marner and Nylander, that signing did absolutely fucking nothing to win the Cup. Just made it harder to compete for one.
You irrationally love the new guy because he plays for the Leafs? Big shocker there homer pyle.
