"With respect to my gambling, it has been an issue in my past and it would be inaccurate to pretend it has not had a negative effect on my life, financially and otherwise," he wrote in a declaration attached to the March filing. "I have undergone and continue to receive personal therapy to deal with it and other matters and hope that the issue is behind me."

I wouldn't sign this guy for league minimum. Huge distraction and obviously a person who is an absolute train wreck at the moment.

Hope he manages to pick up all of the pieces and makes any and all amends necessary. Not here though.

Y'all are stupid. You're missing the most important thing when it comes to Rielly.

He seems a decent fellow. Cares about family. His dad will clearly disown him if he bails on the Leafs.

8 years $2M for Rielly.

Too much term!!!! 🤣

Opinions of Estranged teammates don't matter.

Agreed.

One would hope that Dubas has had some - or is planning some - preliminary talks with Rielly to feel him out*.

* yes, I know, phrasing, but we all know Dubas likes to bend over, right CC?

Dubas said he’d start talks with Rielly after he got a sense of what the FA market looked like. I think Kyle brought his own barrel.

I like the way you think.

If they determine he gambled on his own games - San Jose won't have to do sh!t.

He would be instantly banned for life and his contract would be void.

Professional sports leagues care about integrity more than anything. Anything.

Not sure how they’re going to prove that unless someone was very sloppy.

Too much term!!!! 🤣

Give and take. Gotta give a little bit in this case.

Too much term!!!! 🤣

new blog everyone

Similar to your issues with Willie, I have mine with Marner. Well really, I have the same with all soft players. I wish Willie hit more, Marner hit more...all of them hit more.

The biggest difference for me is about $4M in cap between the two. For that I expect Marner to more consistent and better under pressure....kinda more like Patty Kane.

I watch other team's player's throwing hits and go "oh yeah, nice hit!", I watch our guys getting hit and go "oh no, hope they're not hurt". It's so annoying.

(frank) both those greedy little pencil necks and the horses they rode in on🤦🏿‍♂️

dubass should’ve dealt both of them at the first hint of a holdout so some other sucker could get bent over and given the good news by them and their daddies🤦‍♂️

dubass probably could’ve gotten epic returns given all the hype about how great they were🤦🏿‍♂️

they’d probably have a cup or two by now🤦‍♂️

what a fcucking joke 🤦🏿‍♂️

edit: nice alliteration 👍

Four years left at $7M.

NTC - he submits a list of 3 teams they can trade him to.

Good luck, Sharks management.

Hossa's jock strap beckons. Permanent vacation aboard Robidas cruise lines, with 24 hour casino and all you can injest nasal candy might work out ok for San Jose. They could sign Rielly with the extra cap space.

This is now the line where I agree with Bobby, it's WAY TOO EARLY to fully judge him.

Anyone can make any allegation against you...especially as a public figure....and you're already judged as guilty. Not cool.

We know Kane is a PoS, but has he done any, all, some, a tiny bit of any of this or is his ex a total a$$hole. Nobody knows...yet.

I love Kane as a player. I don't care about a 'messy' break up. I do care about gambling and more if its betting against or for your own team.

If it's true doesn't matter. If it's not, fu3king sucks for him. His reputation is ruined....not for a minute but forever.

He has already lost and that's how the system is NOT suppose to work.

Innocent until proven guilty is now "cancelled and guilty" whether you are even guilty or not. It's fu3ked.

Just because there is smoke, doesn't always mean there is fire. JMHO.
