Dont know anything about him , but he looks solid. Wanted Galy, thats why i freaked out but he looks good. Lots of ppl on main board thread were chirping him tho
Wait, you're telling me a player drafted by the Leafs is being chirped on the main boards?
Always love people who don't see these prospects day in and day out!! I thought the Leafs would take Forsberg. But the Leaf scouts took what they see as the BPA...I am totally fine with it!
Burke is stubborn and just won't take a European that high. Good to see we are building a good defense. Now we gotta get a goalie..................Subban!!!!
Nothing wrong with this pick. I wanted Forsberg or Grigorenko, but I assume that I'm like most posters on here and just read reports all month leading up. You can get swept up in it, but these scout's job is to watch these guys all year and their opinion is much more educated than ours. Rielly looks like a great defenceman and having a smooth transition game is so important for your offence. They will just have to get a #1 C in another way... they obviously felt that Grigorenko was not fit for it..
Burke is stubborn and just won't take a European that high. Good to see we are building a good defense. Now we gotta get a goalie..................Subban!!!!
Where do you get this stuff...You think that Burke would Pass up Forsberg because he is a swede??? Really?....seriously???
Man so many people talk out of thier ....you know what I mean...how about you might believe that Burke and his scouts took the BPA? Is that to hard to comprehend???
Rielly was a good pick, but the Leafs future is bleak if they are unable to get anything close to an elite center.

He's a scout's dream in the way he prepares himself and plays an unselfish game, making smart decisions with the puck. With his bloodlines, he certainly understands what it will take to make it at the next level.
