These are ridiculously weird.

Agreed, the value here is all over the map.

think of morgan rielly as a top 15 D man so put these trades in perspective with that information.

the creativity police have arrived

Except he’s not

whos better

Huge no from rangers the most I’d go is deangelo and Carolinas first but I prob wouldn’t go that high

so excited to see how many oilers d are said

That Rangers trade may be one of the worst I’ve ever seen tbh. Not trying to be rude but dang.

Oilers wouldn’t want him. No offence to him as a player is fantastic but already dealing with a log jam of promising youth there I won’t start any debate suggesting that youth is better but it’s far too good to block the progression of them

Acting like the seasons prior to this one dont count
Not to mention he played majority of the season injured

Hamilton, Theodore, Ellis, josi, Carlson , Letang , fox, Marino , Mcavoy , spurgeon , hedman , slavin , ekblad , pietrangelo , parayko , heiskanen

worst trade ever? such a boost lol

Weird and creative are not synonyms. Some of these just make absolutely no sense. A lot of them in fact. Just seems like you’ve really ignored other teams needs, and the fact that Reilly is a UFA in two years.

recency bias at its finest

Just spat out my coffee.... Acting like Mo didn't put up 72 points and 20 goals last season

Top 15 D Overall Currently (slight bias towards last season, obviously)

Also being generous with rankings above Rielly

1. Hedman
2. Josi
3. Hamilton
4. Pietrangelo
5. Carlson
6. Slavin
7. Parayko
8. Chabot
9. McAvoy
10. Jones
11. Dahlin
12. Ekblad
13. Makar
14. Rielly
15. Letang

Lots of guys can move up and down in these rankings, tough to balance points and defense but not too many extremes on this list, most are effective two way guys

He was injured for a majority of the season and playing with a broken foot. I'd give him another chance before we judge him off this season

I’ve seen worse, just that is a huge overpay for MR.

Well Everyone one of these teams can definetly use a top pairing LHD by the end of the offseason.

BOS for example could lose both chara and Krug potentially

CAR was for more of a TML need but Mo fits the style CAR plays with high intensity and strong puck moving

CHI if They want to try and squeeze another cup out of the Kane and Toews Era

EDM can be interested Depending on how Broberg and Bouchard perform

FLA could look for a change of scenary on the blue line

LA could look for a long term solution on the LHD especially if an extension is in sight

NSH was more of a TML idea and would not see this happening unless instead of Fabbro its Ekholm involved

Rangers have the opposite problem as the leafs as they have no LHD and All RHD

and STL could look for a way to solidify the top 4

The oilers don’t need more LHD we’d rather have bear and the first.

Rielly had an unsustainable S% last season - no doubt he’s an elite offensive defenseman , but he’s so bad defensively it limits the overall value he brings. He’s not even the best defenseman on your team , muzzin is.

A. It wouldn't be anything more from Chicago B. I don't think Boqvist is getting traded. If we play our cards right we can do a quicker rebuild and still have Toews and Kane in there. Rielly is a good defenseman, but just not what Chicago needs.

Well he was pretty decent defensively in his breakout year last year. Maybe Dubas will trade for a good defensive defenseman to pair him with Rielly

i'd rather have pesce on my team than rielly tbh
