Thread: What to do with Rielly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Krug went to FA. Rielly may not, if he does he'll get more than Krug but if he does he knows TO is out. If TO and him are negotiating he should know they won't be the best offer. So we'll see. I hope he decides winning in TO is worth more millions but you could be right.</div></div>

I think there are a lot of moving parts at play here which Dubas is monitoring closely such as Hyman and Anderson's contracts and the actual team's playoff performance........Leafs can even trade away another player to free up cash to resign Rielly if necessary.......Everything is going to be sorted out in due time......He also probably makes more in endorsements playing in Toronto than any other team in the NHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey247</b></div><div>ive said it before and ill say it again. his only bad trade was drouin for sergachev. the other d-men im assuming that you are referring to is juulsen? unfortunate that he got picked up, but its not a huge issue as hes a fringe nhler at this point due to injuries. besides that, you can keep crying, but it won't make him a bad gm.</div></div>

I have watched Juulsen during his minor hockey days and he is a tremendous hockey player with a big heart, thinks the game incredibly well and can skate, pass and hit......Total joke that Bergevin trys to waive him down to the farm team and not get claimed.......total incompetence by Bergevin.

You do not give up on a highly regarded first round pick like Juulsen who had some injuries when he is just starting his career unless you are a total incompetent GM in the NHL.

Thread: What to do with Rielly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>the issue with putting Sandin on unit 1 rn is its sending a message to Rielly your time is up and we are not bringing u back in 2022, but at the same time it also allows for Keefe to see if Sandin can QB unit 1 and do as good of a job/better job than Rielly ever did. Keefe knows this so hes playing his cards carefully as happy Rielly may take a discount to stay.

its tough to say rn whats gonna happen

as who knows Rielly may go sicko mode next season score 15 goals and have 70 points while Sandin just gets 10 points or something</div></div>

I think everyone is discounting the actual leadership skills and standing of Morgan Rielly on the Leafs.......I have been told by a number of people that Rielly is actually the real leader on the Leafs and alot of people thought he should have been the actual captain over Tavares.........Just think he is an incredible person and there is no way the Leafs are not resigning him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey247</b></div><div>its not completely his fault this season. he's probably had the best offseason this year. his acquisitions have been superb. but its the players who were there last year too who aren't performing. petry dried down. weber's taken a step back. price took a step back. gally was good. tatar hasn't been good. but guys like romanov, allen, toffoli, perry, anderson have been MUCH better than expected. i dont think its 100% coaches fault either because these types of players aren't his players. the players need to step up. if the guys were playing well, he'd be in convo for gm of the year.</div></div>

Not completely less......just mostly his fault as the GM.......He as the GM is directly responsible for the team's performance.......tired of hearing about excuses for him.....he is a master at always having an excuse for poor results.

Thread: SANDIN POWERS UP LEAFS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Though I have high hopes for Sandin, it might be a stretch to think he powers the Leafs defence in the next few months. Maybe Reilly should be step and play like a competent NHL Dman, that would really help the Leafs.</div></div>

I kind of think that this is going to work out for the Leafs by getting Sandin into a lot of meaningful games before the playoffs which is only going to develope him faster.......I really think Sandin is going to be a special hockey player for the Leafs.....I said the same thing arout Marner......Bogosian will be back for the playoffs and now the Leafs will have 7 battle tested defenceman and Hutton ready for the playoffs and to go to war with.......I also think Anderson is comming back for the playoffs so the Leafs will be in tremendous shape assuming no further injuries......and especially when Riley Nash returns. The most important thing now is to finish first in their division to ensure home ice and hopefully an easier first round match up as playoffs are a marathon....and the less games played the better.

I also think Keefe was somewhat outcoached last year in the playoffs by Torts........and he is going to be a better playoff coach this year and has a superior team with more size and experience.
