I wouldn't. The Leafs need #1 D men too. Since they take longer to develop than forwards do, it would make little sense to trade Rielly for a 18 year old forward. Rielly being slightly older than the forward core is perfect the way it is.

not even close. Teams need D too.
I'd have a tough time trade him for Matthews(thought I'd probably do it), the value would obviously be there by a mile and we've needed that elite 1C forever, but where are we going to get our D from then?

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.

Anyone who says "yes" or considers it needs to look at our d core and prospects without Rielly.
If Rielly's gone we need a #1,#2, and #3/4. Depending on Dermott, potentially none of those are in the system.
Our defense would be all time embarrassing.

Would trade him in a heartbeat for a top 3 pick. Doubt he will be anything more than adequate defensively and his offense is far from being elite. The top three picks are all have top line potential, with Matthews being franchise talent. Anyone who wouldn't trade him for Matthews is off their rocker.

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.

Again, you're talking about a future Hall of Famer. It is not realistic to think either of the Finns will reach those levels.
Really? I'd take Doughty and Weber over Ovi without even thinking about it.
If we lost Reilly we'd have one, maybe two NHL defensemen. Would be a backwards move.

I don't think Reilly will ever be a true #1 franchise D-men. I see him peaking out at a #2, at most.
so would i trade rielly for laine...dam thats pretty dam close
i think i would, laine looks like a 70-80 point winger with elite size

I'd only trade him if they were getting a RH top 2 young dman back + a centre.
Barring something ridiculous like paryako + fabbri, he's not moving.
