So when's the time? Next month? The next month after that? The Legendary Toronto Maple Leafs do need a captain already and we need to decide who that sucka gon be. He better be tough and rough, cause they gon hit that thang hard after that there. Matthews or Rielly? That is the question beside the fact when's this thang going to go down? Sooner the better. The Maple Leafs should ALWAYS have a Captain cause that really makes the team. The final nail on that thang.
Matthews should have been named captain at the beginning of the playoffs. Before game 1. This year should have been Matthews leading the team out to prove something.
That there some big dollar y'all heard me. These is some suckas making that world go round, with all that money. They be getting that tang for surely.The worst thing we can do is name Matthews captain before he re-signs.
If that's the plan, we might as well drop a steaming dump on the $1,500,000 in cap space we'd be flushing down the toilet.
If Matthews wants a penny more than $10,000,000/year than Rielly should be captain.
The Eichel contract was a mistake & a knee jerk reaction to Edmonton's prior mistakes. I don't like the idea of using a mistake as a comparable. Any comparable outside of Eichel & Draisaitl puts Matthews within $7-8,000,000 x 7-8 years.
$7,750,000 x 7 years = Matthews
$6,250,000 x 7 years = Marner
$5,500,000 x 6 years = Nylander
To bad the world has changed. I don't even recognize it anymore.
Exactly. He needs to PROVE something, THEN be named Captain!He needs to captaincy to be motivated to prove something?
Until I see a thread saying 'Confirmed with Link: Tavares is a Leaf', it is useless to even say his name in a sentence containing the words Leafs and Captain!Tavares.
Rielly wore number 4. He had a very good playoffs had to carry his partner as he was horrible.Surprised so many votes for Rielly. One thing he had in common last year with Matthews is that he was impressive during the regular season but was no better than Matthews in the playoffs. I think Rielly may be the most teflon player on the Leafs ATM.
Exactly. He needs to PROVE something, THEN be named Captain!
The way he played against Boston, injured or not, did nothing to prove he deserves to be Captain!
Yes, he needs to lead by example that leads to future successes!So he needs to lead us to success before he can lead us to success?
It's getting real close and were making the decision. As y'all see Rielly is almost 40% and still going hard. We might be choosing him because of his natural leader abilities and loving to play for toronto. We're getting real close and don't even need the 50% vote. We just had to see it would even over 35%. That tells us enough of y'all fans.Rielly deserves it more than anyone on the team.. he actually acts like a captain. Matthews has done nothing to deserve it other than being hyped as "2nd only to McDavid". With the way he acted throughout the playoffs and afterwards, he's clearly not ready. And no I'm not talking about his play, I'm talking about his attitude.
The Leafs captain is still with the Islanders.So when's the time? Next month? The next month after that?

Reilly is a natural born leader, matthews has shown no leadership qualities what so ever. Matthews is 220lbs and yet Marner plays more physical than him at 175lbs.
