The team\u2019s 48 points put them in a tie for second place in this season\u2019s NHL. In short, they\u2019ve played well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group hit hardest by the injuries has probably been the team\u2019s defensive corps, For most of the season, the team has been missing three of its top-four defensemen. It\u2019s looking more like Jake Muzzin might never return. TJ Brodie was out but has recently come back. And, Morgan Rielly &#8211; arguably the team\u2019s best defenseman &#8211; has had the longest injury bout of his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2022\/12\/21\/heartful-thoughts-denis-malgin-wayne-simmonds\/\">2 HEARTFUL THOUGHTS RE: DENIS MALGIN &amp; WAYNE SIMMONDS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Some Maple Leafs Fans, the Jury Remains Out on Rielly\u2019s Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rielly\u2019s value to the team has been a topic of debate for quite a long time. There\u2019s no doubt that he\u2019s a solid citizen and even captain material. He\u2019s also a great offensive defenseman. However, his level of defensive play has made him less than appreciated by a number of Maple Leafs&#8217; fans.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Morgan-Rielly-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Upper-Deck-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Morgan-Rielly-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Upper-Deck-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Morgan-Rielly-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Upper-Deck-4-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Morgan-Rielly-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Upper-Deck-4-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Morgan Rielly, Maple Leafs defenseman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>These fans note that even a really good offensive defenseman must also be a good defensive defenseman if he\u2019s going to be called the number one defenseman on the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Rielly\u2019s plus side of the ledger, he\u2019s shown that he really wants to be a Maple Leafs\u2019 player. He took a hometown discount to stay in Toronto. And he\u2019s represented the team well in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Rielly Went Down, the Team Stayed Hot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, Rielly\u2019s injury came just prior to the team going on a hot streak when they picked up points in 16 straight games. At the same time, without Rielly, the team\u2019s power play cooled off considerably. The team was only hitting 17.1 percent when Rielly was not there, which was ranked 26th in the NHL.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past few games, the team\u2019s power play has attempted to reinvigorate itself by deploying five forwards (with Mitch Marner) running the point.\u00a0The result, is so-so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, Points For and Against Rielly\u2019s Valuable to the Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been even more questions since the team has done so well with Rielly gone about whether he\u2019s that valuable. As in many debates, there are considerations on both sides of the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, on the negative side, Rielly \u2013 even with his hometown discount \u2013 does take up a chunk of the team\u2019s salary cap. Although that point is moot because Rielly has a no-movement clause for now, which turns into a modified-no-movement clause on July 1, 2028. The point is, he\u2019ll be around for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, on the positive side, Rielly was a part of last year&#8217;s team that set a franchise record for wins and for points in a single season. Rielly was a big part of that team. You\u2019d have to believe that, even if the organization could move Rielly, they would choose not to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/nhltradetalk.com\/three-takeaways-maple-leafs-win-over-flyers\/\">Three Takeaways from Maple Leafs 4-3 Win Over Flyers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, on the negative side, the team hasn\u2019t shown \u2013 except for the power play deficiencies \u2013 signs of missing Rielly\u2019s on-ice play. Even with depth defensemen manning the pairings, the team has been playing well. The question comes up what will happen when Rielly returns? And, he\u2019s skating now, so he might resume game action quite soon. A cynical question would be whether his return might disrupt the current chemistry of the team\u2019s defence.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Morgan-Rielly-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-NHL.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Morgan-Rielly-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-NHL.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Morgan-Rielly-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-NHL-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Morgan-Rielly-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-NHL-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Morgan Rielly, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Fourth, on the positive side, although Rielly probably plays better with a strong defender than another offensive defenseman, that\u2019s likely true about any defensive pairing in today&#8217;s NHL. In good pairings, jobs are symbiotic. Someone takes chances to offensively move up, while the other defenseman remains the stay-at-home partner.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that Brodie is back, Rielly&#8217;s return should only make the team\u2019s defence stronger. Of the defensemen who\u2019ve filled in, someone sits (or takes turns) until there\u2019s another injury. That the depth defensemen have played so well has been a luxury for this team.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now That Reilly Is Close to Returning, What Happens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be interesting (and from my perspective good) to have Rielly back in the lineup. I believe the team\u2019s power play has suffered. I also believe that Rielly is a better defensive defenseman than many people believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That the team\u2019s defence has held up this season when many fans (and hockey pundits) believed it would fail is a tribute to the team\u2019s total commitment to defence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have been playing well all around. From my perspective, they\u2019ll be stronger with Morgan Rielly back in the team\u2019s lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thehockeywriters.com\/maple-leafs-news-rumors-samsonov-marner-nylander\/\">Maple Leafs News &amp; Rumors: Samsonov, Marner, Nylander &amp; Gio<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the Toronto Maple Leafs&#8217; Morgan Rielly was lost to an injury, the team has kept winning.
