Thread: Hughes
im sure others will say this as well but that never stopped me before; morgan rielly is like a carbon copy of quinn hughes, he is the opposite of what the leafs need on defense, AND he plays the wrong side. if anything toronto should be looking to grab a right handed defenseman who is ELITE defensively to play with black ho' mo. im a strong proponent of switching rielly and marner at least to see what happens (marner is better defensively and mo can surely hold his own as a winger) & maybe then this makes sense but even in that case paying this much (cap hit AND assets) for what would end up being your second pair LD is a little crazy for a team in TOR's cap sitch. blowing off all the assets is also iffy considering the future of this team five years down the road is a big ? there is no guarantee that he leaves but AM34 to ARI (or anywhere else) is a real possibility & with the cap hardly going up this offseason bunting & sammy have effectively priced themselves out of this city barring a gio style team friendly deal. WIlly is also up for a big raise sooner rather than later & gio wont be on league min forever. i could go on and on but i think everyone gets the point lol basically they should do the opposite of this IMO.

Thread: moving rielly to W
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>I feel like that's a 'who are we comparing their shots to' example. Hyman is the one I'm most familiar with since he's a former Leafs so I'll use him. He may not have the shot of a Nylander or Matthews but he's still leagues ahead of the Kerfoots, Kampfs and Engvalls of the world.</div></div>

hyman definitely has the best shot of the group, danault by far the worst IMO but all the players have in common the fact that they each have a specialty be it playmaking, great mobility, strong hand-eye &amp; high motor, or defensive prowess. i think rielly is no different in this regard, his specialty is his passing and skating which make him a threat on the rush and on the cycle. thats what puts him above kerfoot for me who IMO doesnt do anything at a top six level and is more of the ideal third liner, i probably shouldve actually changed the lines i suppose.
