Thread: moving rielly to W
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>Rielly isn't a winger. The thing you need to do to play top 6 minutes on the wing is shoot the puck. We criticize some top 6 wingers for not being able to do so but really thats in comparison to other top 6ers. A shot is what really seperates a bottom 6 winger from a top 6. With Rielly's shot, he's much closer to a Kerfoot (who also shouldn't be top 6 here) than he is a Nylander, Marner or Bunting.</div></div>

you're right about the shot but i also think that there are other factors that can tip the scale as well in regards to the difference between top and bottom six usage. rielly is a top six level playmaker in the NHL, thats what gets him up on the second line. certainly not the defense or shot. also important to remember guys like Nic Dowd, Phil Danault, Mikael Backlund &amp; even Hyman who are all top six mainstays and have been for a while but absolutely cannot sling it.
