It’s no secret that Morgan Rielly is having one of the worst statistical seasons of his career but as the Leafs defenceman sits at -19 for the campaign, how can the coaching staff get more out him? TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins Domino’s That’s Hockey to discusses this and how Toronto’s defence stacks up against the other contending teams in the East.

Put him on the 3rd pair, maybe even the 4th pair.
move him to 2nd line, build some confidence
Sit him.
With the cap going up, retain and trade for whatever you can get
More like how can they get rid of him
OMG we have him for 5 years? ….Damn. Ya put him with Tanev.
Sit him and bring up Myers.
He a bumbaclot, worst player on the D.
I like the idea of a defensive dman to pair with him.
Let Morgan play to his capabilities, like Oilers did with Paul Coffey who was an all-out Offensive DMan with zero defense
Doesn't matter whom he's paired with. At 31 Morgan's skating skills have declined considerably. He doesn't have the speed to carry the puck anymore and he also can't seem to make a good breakout pass and he's not big or strong enough to win corner batttles. So what's left?
Leave him in the press box is the best way to maximize Morgan Reilly. Just loosing cap space instead of Hockey games.
Looks like Reilly has lost a step.
