The bigger question is... can she skate backwards with a stick in hand?
Bet McDavid undresses her like he did Morgs.

I'm going to go with Tessa Virtue is a good partner for Morgan Reilly.
Tessa Virtue Confirms She's Dating Toronto Maple Leaf Morgan Rielly .
LOL.Yup just what this team needs, another figure skater.
A name I haven't considered. Though at 58 games experience in the show...is he capable of 1st pairing minutes in a fashion some hope Dermott might be? I know nothing about the kid.
That's way too much for Risto. He has been bad for a few years now, I'd rather just play Dermott on the right side.
If you take a shot you're basically taking him at cap dump prices.
We also have much better options than Borowiecki for the bottom pair.
He wouldn't be ready for top pairing play. He got bottom pairing icetime last seasin, but did get a lot of D zone starts
He seems like one you could platoon with Holl on the 2nd pairing
So a guy the Leafs could use, but wouldnt be the main offseason fix for the D
stanley cup champion Luke Schenn?
Owns a good (6'3", 206 pounds) frame and plenty of shutdown qualities. Can produce points at lower levels but is at his best when he keeps his game simple. Moves the puck out of danger well. His lack of a physical dimension to his game is not ideal at the National Hockey League level. Also, he is not a natural point producer from the back end. | |
Long Range Potential: | Solid shutdown blueliner with a little upside. |

Pietrangelo is the only partner worth going hard after. If Rielly can't mesh then its time to consider moving him before he becomes a UFA.
Don't let Soucy's average ice time fool you too much. It's hard not to be on the bottom pair when your team has Suter, Spurgeon, Brodin, and Dumba.
Plus he really arrived last season. He was a scratch a few times to start, and played under 10 a few times. But he progressed to handle stretches with over 20 minutes per game. I think he's capable of sustaining that. He's far better than Holl.
Edit: You are right, though @Menzinger. Top pairing duties out of gate would be a big ask. Especially if he's less than comfortable on his off side. I don't want to over sell the guy. He's under the radar, plays the style we need, and would be cheaper than most options.
I think he is someone management will trade if they sign A.P. It would become a Topic pretty quick.If you sign AP, you're likely losing Reilly to UFA. There won't be room for both. Unless multiple of the big four are moved.

It could be looked at as we will sign Pietrangelo, trade Rielly and have more assets for it. Andersen going too possibly along with Johnsson. I am wondering if they are seeing it as i did in that many changes are needed after 4 exits. Maybe. I hope for sweeping changes actually. The bottom six is constructed poorly and it can all go for all i care. Robertson is in place for third line left side. Perry would be a nice right side signing for 3 or 4 line etc.
Weak bottom six wins nothing as we have seen over and over. They do nothing too.
If not Pietrangelo, how about Dougie Hamilton? Pending UFA on a budget team.
I would like him to move up to it. Feet wet,show your stuff, work his bag off like he does and plant him right with Tavares or Matthews yes.To me a guy like Robertson should either be on a scoring line or he's in the minors. He's the type of guy that it's exactly wrong for your bottom six.
