Sujet: is Rielly's time up with Leafs

IMO, Rielly is a #1 D because he can play 25 minutes a night and play against the opposition's top players. I don't think you need to win trophies to be a number one for a team. Do I think Rielly is one of the top defenceman in the league... No, but he is valuable. All that said I have to say Muzzin is our best defenceman because you can use him in all situations and he excels. Rielly is a great player and an even better teammate/leader (remember he was one of the top choices to be captain before Tavares got the C) but given the current landscape with a flat cap and all I can't see the leafs resigning him, but will let his contract ride out then walk as a UFA.

They didnt.

The closer they signed, paid 5 million for 2 spring training games</div></div>

So you're saying you don't like the jays because they didn't address their pitching, or is that your take on the off-season?

In terms of pitching who did you want them to add? Also, they only spent money this off season keeping their farm system intact so they can still make trades at the deadline or throughout the season.

Yates is an elite closer but needs TJ same with Paxton who a lot of Jays fans were high on. One other thing too add is by not signing a FA pitcher for more than they're worth they are able too see who is doing well when they make a trade instead of hoping a FA signing would exceed their contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onslaught77</b></div><div>You haven't checked the expansion rules. You have to expose 1 defenceman with 1 year left on his deal. I've been endlessly attacked on here for my view of Holl and told that he's a **** NHL player and carried by Muzzin and told by those same people that Dermott is a future top 6 NHL player. As it stands The Leafs are required to expose one of Holl, Muzzin, Barrie or Reilly. Check the expansion draft simulator. By getting a defenceman signed next year they could protect the big 4 and Reilly Muzzin, Brodie Holl and Kerfoot would likely be taken by Seattle.</div></div>

Why wouldn't the leafs just sign Dermott to an extension prior to the expansion draft instead of making a bad trade? I like Ullmark but would rather add Hall than Miller. I never attacked you on your view of Holl... I agree with you by the sounds of things. Dermott is a top 6 NHL defenceman now considering a team dresses 6 d-men a night and he's usually one of them. If you want to trade for a d-man under contract find a 7th or 8th guy eho will cost a late round pick. Or more likely Dubas extends Marincin because he seems too love him for some reason.

What you think of this?
And what would you do instead?</div></div>

I'm not sure we could get a 3rd back but it would be nice if we could. I think a 1st is fair value with retention. Overall, I like the idea of adding Laughton, however, I would explore the trade market to see what's out there (<a href="/users/OldNYIfan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@OldNYIfan</a> said we could probably get Rakell 50% retention for Lilly and a 2nd or maybe a 4th). I think there's a lot of good options, it comes down to price and how it affects other moves we can make.

Question for ya... do you think we could resign him and if so how much?

I like that you found a way to improve the team and didn't have to add Kerfoot! Honestly, I don't mind if he gets traded but we would then have to go and get another forward under contract for next season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onslaught77</b></div><div>Every player that's left Buffalo has done better and while you guys hate Justin Holl and want him gone I think him getting taken in the expansion draft would be devastating to the Leafs so even if he doesn't play a single game it's worth it because you can expose him and protect Holl. On top of that while you guys think a first round pick with zero scouting is worth the world I don't particularly. As for Dermott, I know you guys love him. I know but I don't get why. He's nowhere near the stud everyone makes him out to be. Might sound harsh but I tell it like it is. Ullmark has played well on a team where nobody does. As much as I appreciate what Freddy has been for us, He's hurt and he's not good when he hasn't been playing and no matter the situation it doesn't make sense to resign him.
As it stands at the end of this season Holl is gone if we don't get someone to expose and Freddy isn't coming back. Dermott isn't good and a player that's at least as good and possibly better is worth the shot if it also gives the team someone to expose.</div></div>

Of course they have it's been publicly stated by players who have left (O'Reilly said he lost his love of the game, and Lehner turned to drugs and alcohol Just to name a couple). When did I say I hate and want Holl gone? I didn't, I want him to stay. Why would he get taken in the expansion draft? The leafs can and most likely will protect Holl in the ED. Not sure why you don't think they can't or won't protect Holl. The leafs will go 8-1 Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander, Rielly, Muzzin, Brodi, Holl &amp; Campbell. Why would they go 7-1? Again, never said a late 1st in this year's draft was worth the world. Maybe you should not make assumptions, just a thought. Who made Dermott out too be a stud? He's a serviceable NHL player I think your expectations of him are too high. No you don't you make assumptions and think that you're correct (which is fine, but it doesn't mean you always are... nobody is perfect and if you think you're always right you will never learn anything). I agree Ullmark is good and it will cost a lot too get him, as it should. I also never said we should re-sign Freddie... I think it would be a mistake too. Dermott can and will be exposed if he doesn't get traded which he likely won't for that reason. Again, I think your expectations of him are too high, he's a serviceable NHLer. Not a chance Miller is better than Dermott.
