You can get a goalie through trade, you can have the forwards contribute by committee, but what you can't do in the NHL more often than not, is acquire a horse on defence, we have one in the making and our success depends on Rielly's development which is coming along nicely..
IMO, he is on the cusp of what #1 d-man does on a contender, but he needs to work on shot suppression(I've seen his numbers) and his penalty kill. When Babock gives him more PP time, I will assume he will get a few more goals/points, but he is right there in terms of production of what Doughty did in 2012.
Rielly in 2016: 9-27-36P; 23:13TOI; 1:49PP; 2:21SH
Keith in 2010: 14-55-69P; 26:35TOI; 2:48PP; 2:58SH
Chara in 2011: 14-30-44P; 25:26TOI; 3:08PP; 2:48SH
Doughty in 2012: 10-26-36P; 24:53TOI; 3:42PP; 2:17SH
When do you think Rielly can play 25Min/game effectively? 1 year, 2 years, 3 years+?
