They are built wrong. They don’t have any depth and there star’s don’t show up in the playoffs It will be an early exit again
TO fans do not want trader Ryan orielly!!!! He is a trader!!!! Not what we need!
Rielly has either lost a step, or he's out of shape. His sense of urgency seems down as well. He has to find a way to turn things around, or he'll find himself on the bottom pair. Great character guy, leadership qualities, but he simply has to get his act together, and adjust to being 2nd pair defenseman.
Brad Treliving needs to pull a Julien BriseBois, put feelings aside and trade Morgan Rielly. If not, then hopefully the discussion will light a fire up Rielly's arse.

Just trade
I still believe they should make a DeMar DeRozan kawhi Leonard type trade. Offering up Morgan Riley and Robertson and somebody else for a solid third line center and a rough hard nosed defender like McCabe or Tanev
Reilly has to go 7 million waisted on a useless player
Move him up to forward. Try it .
This team will only ever work if the top guys are fully healthy and performing. Domi makes a fraction of the "core 4". The top dogs wanted their $$, so lead the charge, full stop.
Dude was doing "lines" last night?

8:53 It's spelled "champing" but it's still pronounced "chomping." It's a horse reference.
Reilly needs a fresh start in Vancouver, maybe in a package for JT Miller?
Dubas gave draft capital away like tips before getting fired for that and trying to grab Shanahan’s responsibilities
Reilly will figure it out. He’s a good player.
The real question that needs asking is when does Shanahan get fired?
You said nothing we need from CHI, what about a retained Connor Murphy?
For defense I also like Connor Clifton from BUF, Rasmus Andersson from CGY and if we can somehow move Rielly Parayko from STL.
Morgan Rielly is a liability every time he's on the ice. Every single time. And, this has been going on for far too long. Out of his 12 years in the NHL he's only had 2 good years…the rest were either very average or very bad (like the year he's having now). At this point they are far better off without him on the team. If the Leafs are truly serious in wanting to win a cup, or have any real success in the playoffs, then they have two options with Rielly: They either send him on a permanent vacation to Robidas Island, or they move him by adding another young player and/or picks with him in a deal. NMC contracts have been moved before so it can be done.
you guys talk sh!t maybe ya'll need to start a sammich Co. cause this is good Baloney
Stick a fork in Rielly. If he wasn’t personal friends with Larry Tanenbaum he would have been traded long ago. He is hurting this team with his own selfishness. He’s slow, has no shot, dawdles on the ice stifling play, and is not physical in his own end. So “who” does he inspire exactly. He’s done. Go back to Rosedale and annoy the neighbours.
5’9 and you think he’s worth a first rd pick ? I t😊 you literally play for the other side
Nyr announced a fire sale?
Cowan can get you anything you want
Trade him
First for Gourde is INSANITY !! Get a life . How dare you suggest they trade a 2026 first. !! Stop grabbing all these old , junky players. Cowan and Minten are untouchable. We need these kids, just look at Knies.
Who wants an old squash
If the core hasn't grown a pair and willing to play playoff hockey then why even make any moves. Leafs just don't have the right mix. The NMC's.
Trade him
