They probably considered a whole bunch of dudes at 3, too

Ya, I am trying to make this cheer me up, but it's really not that big of a deal or earth shattering news at all.

 

[Sonic Disturbance]

Pure speculation. This is all Bergevin said (according to the article): "I put a lot of value on defencemen, long term,". What if that guy was Trouba, Reinhart, Ceci, Lindholm or Maataa?

But did they have him ranked #1 in the draft

It wouldn't surprise me. Rielly has some elite skills. I watched him play for Moose Jaw and you could really see it. Still very early in his career. Guys still 20 years old. He'll be the Leafs best defenceman before too long
