I say you keep Rielly and trade a forward for a #1 D.

Agreed. We have an abundance of good wingers we can use that to try to improve our defense.

You could trade a forward and keep Rielly or you could trade Rielly and keep the forward. They're both viable options, it just depends on who you're acquiring and what the other team needs.

I don't have the 30 GMs on speed dial, so we don't know who is and isn't available. But Dougie Hamilton looks to be available according to some people so he should definitely be a target.

The whole Dougie Hamilton thing is weird. Wonder if there are off-ice issues.

Pietrangelo

Or trade Rielly plus more for an upgrade and a legit #1 D, 25 or under.
- Unholy_Goalie

Ummm...Reilly just put up 50 plus points playing 21 min a night at the age of 23. So who exactly is this legit number 1 d 25 and under you're talking about. And ps. Reilly at 23 is very comparable to Keith at 23...in fact he's better.

How bad could it be if it even is that? Good enough player and young enough to change to be worth the risk.

Points doesn't mean he can play defense. I'd take 10 fewer points if it meant preventing 20 more goals. Rielly isn't Keith.

Just seems weird. Boston gave him up for picks when they were not rebuilding and the Flames rumors have been going on since late 2016.

Pietrangelo Yes

Boston had salary cap issues, that was a big part of it.

I would try to pry Manson out of Anaheim. Wonder what the cost would be?

Points doesn't mean he can play defense. I'd take 10 fewer points if it meant preventing 20 more goals. Rielly isn't Keith.
- Unholy_Goalie

No...he isn't Keith in his prime. At least not yet.

Also you didn't say who 25 and under is the dman we should be trading Reilly plus for.

Not a #1 D, would be like getting Pesce from Carolina. An improvement but still not the main goal.

Unless you go out and get 6 top-4 D and play them all 20 min a night evenly.

He could be much better defensively but he would need a strong mentor.....yes, I am talking Weber

Expecting Rielly to become as good as Keith is rather optimistic to put it mildly.

Why? He was a top 5 pick. He's playing big minutes on a team that finished with 100 plus points. And I saw him take over games quite a few times last year. Sometimes he tries to do too much but what else do you expect from a 23 yo. And yeah...he's now 24. (As of march). But he has developed into something pretty damn decent.

Why not both? Pesce and Manson

Rielly-Manson
Dermott-Pesce
Hainsey-Zaitsev

Defensively he's not that great or that smart. He's 24, not 23. He could still improve a lot and become better but if a player with more potential and skills is available, Rielly isn't untouchable.

Hainsey is too old and Zaitsev is too poop. But it's a start. Depends what it costs to get those two guys. Won't be cheap.

12 seconds?

Vegas comes right back. 3-1.
