No. It's basically a lateral move for no reason.
Laine/Puljuice has an edge in upside, but Rielly plays a generally more valuable position that is also a need for the franchise, while being a high character guy we are already starting to build around. You don't make lateral moves unless it's someone that is struggling and need a change.
No.
1D>>>>>top line winger
I'd take Ovi over any defenseman in the league, but I see what you're saying.
Especially because defensemen take longer to develop, trading Rielly for a winger sets our rebuild back by years.
The Oilers won the 2nd or 3rd lottery and wanted to trade it for him?
Ovi is one of the greatest wingers in league history. Thats a very unfair example.
I'd take Kane over just about and defender as well.

If Rielly was in this year's draft I highly doubt he would go top 3. You do this trade and run.
