Could Morgan Rielly’s Next Move Shake Up the NHL—and Is Vancouver Ready for Him?
Morgan Rielly’s not shutdown defender, never has been, never will be. So I think you could look at him if you’re a different team, and say, ‘Okay, some of it might have been an off year. Some of it might be age. That’s what you’re concerned about, but some of it was deployment and usage. And on our team, he might do that differently.’
He goes to a team where they need someone who does that, where he get to play on the power play, you know, putting up 50, 55 points as a defenseman, not that shabby for the amount of money he makes. So maybe there is a bigger market there than you might think.
