Rielly and Gardiner are massively underrated. Rielly in particular, plays 1st pairing usage and QoC and puts up great point totals and good advanced stats
I actually think that Gardiner is the most underrated Leaf. You've got people like me who think he's a #1 defender. Then you've got people who think he's an unreliable #4.
Especially in multi-overtime games, Gardiner is money.
Gardiner also tends to really turn it on in the playoffs. I think he'll look like the best defender on the ice if we play Tampa (and I know they've got some good defenders).
Rielly got a lot better last year, and he got even better this year. So I think that Rielly is only just now a top 2 defender... whereas Gardiner has been there for a few years, but he's just underrated around here and around the NHL as well. I think he will impress a lot of people in the playoffs.
