Just take a quick little gander at the Ducks D, specifically those who are lefties, and then come on back and tell me why the Ducks would target Rielly.

They would jump on it if they could get him this cheap lol.

That D core is awful. Why are we trading our best D?

This, my friend, is why people make fun of Leafs fans on here.

So, you're saying they should trade their best (and basically only) RD, a top prospect and a 1st, to add Rielly, a LD, when they've already got Hampus Lindholm, Cam Fowler, and a bunch of young guys who are fighting for a spot? And this is going to make the Ducks D better how?

Also, your D core is also awful.

Only what the Leafs want and need matter cmon you should know this by now

And this is why Leafs fans ignore posters like you. You fail to realise the Leafs are getting absolutely hosed in this trade. Yes, it doesn't make sense for the ducks due to positional needs - they would still be insane to turn this offer down

So, perhaps you should mention that to the OP who posted this trade, since he/she is a Leafs fan. Perhaps if some of you listened a bit more to non-Leafs fans, we wouldn't see the 800 Parayko for garbage trades, the "Reimer is a cap dump so we get Pesce for very little then flip Reimer who's no longer a cap dump to Pittsburgh and get Murray" trades...but yeah, it's definitely every other fan bases fault...

Vegas has 5 LHD and they're great. People focus way too much on handedness.

Really would immediately become the best D on your team. If you don't want him you could ship him out for significantly more than you gave up here.

I think this is a very bad trade. Leafs shouldn't be trading Reilly to the Ducks send him to a competitors that needs him to maximize the return.

Manson is grossly overrated.

I’m always curious to hear a Leafs fans opinion on why Manson is overrated.

He's a decent (not great) 2nd pairing defensive defenceman. I think he has less upside than David Savard but is younger and has an extra year of term.

I've seen Ducks fans wanting Liljegren and 15OA for this guy... that's insane.

As for this trade Manson and a pick in the late 20s for a top 30 D man in the league?

I agree with you after this trade Toronto's D goes from bad to AHL tier.
