I wouldn't trade Rielly for McDavid right now. At the end of the day I think their value will be a wash as they'll both be elite in their own right. Plus D is the much bigger need atm and Rielly is Hella fine dman.
I like rielly.... But I take Mcdavid over him all day long. Rielly has the potential to be great, but mcdavid (if he stays healthy), is basically a shoe in for the hall of fame, if not, to be considered one of the best to ever play the game....

We're told a lot of NHL general managers were singing a similar tune when they gathered for their annual November meeting last week in Toronto.
"Lots of teams looking for a defenceman," said a league executive, "and they all want one that can play in the top four."
Well, good luck with that.
Still, a sniff around NHL circles by telephone indicates there are plenty of teams that would like blueline help as the important U.S. Thanksgiving quickly approaches at the end of November. The list is long and, of course, the the list of actual players who can provide that kind of assistance is pretty short.
That hasn't stopped teams from looking. Sources say Columbus, Toronto, Los Angeles, Ottawa, Calgary, San Jose, Buffalo and Boston are on a list of more than 10 teams that are looking for somebody who can play in their top four immediately.
"Since those guys aren't available you have to decide if there's a guy who is a No. 5 on a team right now that can maybe help you in your top four," the executive added.
There aren't many in the names of blueliners being shopped: Trevor Daley (Chicago), Matt Carle (Tampa), Justin Braun (San Jose), Braydon Coburn (Tampa), Ron Hainsey (Carolina), Carl Gunnarsson (St. Louis), Jake Gardiner (Toronto) and Kris Russell (Calgary).

I knew a lot of people would think me saying no to Rielly for McDavid was stupid and I don't blame ya, it's just that what Rielly is doing at such a young age is impeccable. And I just feel like we may never get another dman this good anytime soon. I also have lots of faith in our current forward prospect group.

I don't get it. I mean, we are looking for a top 4 defenseman right now by shopping a young top 4 defenseman? Um okay? I don't think we are looking for anything unless it's of the U22 variety.
