You’re heavily overvaluing Reilly. He’s worth a first and third at most. Teams aren’t gonna trade a first and A-B prospects for a rental….

we need a dmen back lol

I'd rather keep the prospects and play Sanheim in the top for where he should be playing. Also, with York and Zamula on the way trading for another LHD makes no sense what so ever

Calgary already replaced Giordano with Zadorov, Rielly isnt worth remotely near that

Literally read the users description before commenting...

Also, Philly just paid a 1st, 2nd, and a NHL defenceman for a 2 year rental that's far, far, far, worse than Rielly. A 1st and a 3rd is pretty insulting.

Ducks easily decline, they have no use or need for a 27 year old pending UFA

The logic you put for why ANA makes that trade is insanely flawed and almost completely false

It’s funny how everyone values players on here.

Ristolainen can’t play defence, he fetched 13th overall and a 2nd rounder.

Jones also can’t play defence, he fetched two firsts (one of which was 11th overall) and a top prospect in Boqvist.

Everyone on here is so quick to say “Rielly isn’t worth that” but in reality, he is.
Rielly isn’t all that amazing of a defender but is at least on par if not better than both of those two. He is also miles better offensively than Risto and at least on par with Jones.
Now, I’m not saying Morgan Rielly is this amazing dman that should demand a king’s ransom but he would bring in something near Jones.

A source on Twitter (that has not been revealed, so we can’t be absolutely certain of it’s reliability but we can use some common sense) stated that Morgan Rielly’s current value would be near Jones’, 2 firsts and a good prospect.

You can argue all you want but it is true. Morgan Rielly is not “only worth a first and a third.” He is a guy who plays top pair and can produce offensively at an elite level, despite his struggles this year.

That is exactly what he's was worth. A 1st and big prospect per insiders /execs etc. With market now idk what he's worth but he's certainly worth more than that now

Idk if he's worth 2 1st and a prospect. (Would Love if he is) jones is a RD which is more sought and value than LD. But it's criminal how undervalue people have Rielly on here

Thing about Rielly is he has a 10 team trade list

I think the flames trade is what a trade would look like prior to market being screwed now idk. Do I think flames would do it no.
The ducks one I think could work but that pick will need to be top 3 protected atleast.
The flyers one I think need a pick going to Philly (not 1st or 2nd) or a b prospect like durzak.

This is all going off the article saying he's worth a 1st and High prospect

This to a tee 👌🏻

The only reason why users on here say he isn't worth that or is "only worth a 1st and a 3rd" is because of the Toronto factor - people love to hate on Leafs players and try to make them seem less good than they really are. In reality it doesn't matter what they think because the comparables are out there

I see you missed the Risto trade

You are entitled to your opinion as is everyone else on this form. On that flames trade, I can’t see them giving up what is basically 2 fist round picks for him. Flyers maybe, but since they have done other moves on defence I doubt they would. Anaheim isn’t in a place to do a trade like this since they are not in a contending position.

I will agree that these three teams specifically probably don’t get Rielly, none of them need him.

I think Reilly is like Tyson Barrie. If Barrie went to a team, let’s say for example purposes only, like the Nashville Predators, where they really don’t have that true superstar forward yet. And before you say that they do in one of Johansen, Duchene, or Forsberg, they have all been outperformed by Roman Josi for the past couple of seasons. If Barrie wasn’t able to pass to McDavid and Draisaitl, how well would he perform? The same goes for Reilly. How well would he perform if he wasn’t able to pass to Matthews, Marner, Tavares, or Nylander? It would most likely be safe to say that he would not perform as well without that superstar finishing from the forwards.

Im not sure if this changes your opinion on the trade but i said in the description that these trades are under the assumption that he signs an extension as part of the trade!

I didn’t miss it, Philly just got fleeced. No other team with a brain would’ve done the trade….

Im curious what teams you think could use Rielly than?

I agree. I think it is the thing where everyone overvalues their own guys and undervalues others, heck I fall victim to that too. But looking at what Jones and Risto got, i tried building these trades off of that. I figured that because Jones as more name brand i guess Rielly wouldnt be valued the same as him. But he is definitely better than Risto, but risto is big and right handed (the things nhl teams overvaule). So I felt that trade would be a good comparison considering that i said these trades are under the assumption he signed an extension.

There was multiple teams interested in risto so i think over teams would have gotten fleeced. Both Risto and Jones got a lot and both are worse than Rielly. Now both are tall right handed d men who are overvalued because of that so i tried adjusting to the place accordingly.

If you read the description is said these trades are under the assumption that he signed an extension. So he is not a rental. Also, that is definitely not his value. He is a top pair dman, those cost more than a first and 3rd. Look at the recent trades for inferior players

Philly got fleeced. Jones was an overpay but the Hawks also got a late first round pick with Jones. Just cause some teams made bad trades doesn’t mean others should…

It's the rule on here. All Leaf players are worth nothing.

Instead everyone should fleece the leafs because it's the rule on here.

Well, only if its Steve Yzerman making the trades…
