In reality... IMO the reason why Rielly isn't getting PP minutes is because the Leafs are pumping up Phaneuf's value. They are giving him PP time and 5v5 minutes vs worse players.

can you say rielly?

young team like the avs isnt looking for a 30 year old

Dad?
- the_eye

Sorry ..No

Like I said from the beginning. The leafs should inquire....see what it takes but not give up the farm.

Inquire, make a pitch....if they say no...then....life goes on.
- Fakepartofme

that goes without saying

if he is actually available.. guaranteed the leafs already know what the asking price is

Then the Avs have to throw in a first, Top D-men are harder to come by.

if i am the avs:

rielly (5th overall) = duschene (3rd overall)

end of story.

I'm fine with the status quo. Trade Polak...

as Lou would agree on Harrington, he is doing a good job. Call up Percy or actually use Corrado.

Then he should put Rielly on the PP. In reality if we ignore PP time, Rielly and Hunwick have the toughest matchups which makes Rielly the #1D. He's just missing that PP time and that's going to Phaneuf. Bust up his point totals, raise his confidence, get him playing well, then trade him or slowly wean off the PP time

Noof is on pace for a 45 point season! Wow!

offer them Pitts 1st, Arcobello and Corrado, and a fake Cup ring to put in Roy's ear

if they dont like it, they can (frank) their hat and duchene will sign with us in 2 years to wing Stammer

Well they sure as (frank) aren't getting Rielly

lol i agree.. thats why this convo is ridiculous

Oh (frank)in please!

a young centre one season removed from a 70P campaign vs a young defender who has nt accomplished anything more

leaf fans typically over value the young talent on the roster..

rielly is not worth more than duschene

You may be right, but Duchene has peaked, Reilly hasn't.

I don't think that's what he's saying....I think he's saying we need to keep Rielly as we have young stud centers in our system, and we don't have anything close to Rielly.

if i am the Avs GM i am not giving up a 3rd overall for peanuts

you boys are dreaming
- Dozzer

We should trade JVR. Imagine what we'd get.

2nd overall.

good for Dion
he's finally being used the way he should have been from the start
second pairing w/ pp time
Mo needs time to develop a shot before he takes the pp spot
no need to force it

- mykokes

i agree 100%

but i am trying to bring a lil reality to these boards when it comes to duschene

how do you know this?
- Dozzer

I'm guessing

We should trade JVR. Imagine what we'd get.

2nd overall.
- walshyleafsfan

i am torn.. he's young enough to be part of the future.. but yeah.. the return would be great

but here is the thing

if the leafs move him the only teams looking at him will be playoff bound.. therefore.. no 2nd overall.
