They aren't similar value. Rielly is a notch above. Think of Rielly as Pietrangelo and Nurse as Bogosian.

Rielly was also the third D-man taken, why do you keep repeating that?
- Lipchitz

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Pietrangelo is, IMO of course, the single best young D in the league. Only OEL could challenge that. Before long he will be in the convo for best player period.
Rielly is no Pietrangelo.

Don't we own his rights?
- BigDre

Rights trade!

Rights to Omark for rights to Henrique....

context was essentially someone ripping Biggs for having little or no value "because big guys should dominate in junior hockey"...

the counter point, and I think a reasonable non-home one is that big guys take a while to develop... and that isn't it exactly a big robust guy who can skate that's missing in the Oilers top 6?
- BorjeFan4Ever

someone proposed a bad trade, someone else came in to defend the offer from the Leafs end, someone else mentioned Lucic when appraising Biggs.
From there it was on.

Klefbom for Rielly's sperm

And then...

Nurse for Pietrangelo's sperm

LMFAO True True...

Anyone read the piece by Lowetide about Marincin and possibly trading him???

Anyone think its a tad premature to trade Marinicin or just me??? Obviously it depends on what but if its a linear move or for another pick or bottom 6 fwd I would not do it... Like WTF is it lately - why do we want to trade players with size- when we are a small team collectively???

Never even thought of cohen and louongo that's awesome. Clarke MacArthur and jay onrait is another good one

What your thoughts on the esks game tonight

if he was a top 3 talent why was he ranked 5th? 5th in NA that is.
- Marshalle

I think he was trying to say he was ranked abit lower due to his injury, but was proclaimed top 3 in pure talent.

Regardless, the only person i heard mention this was burke saying they got the guy that was at the top of their list.
And at the very least, ill take that with a grain of salt

Dont be such a homer.

When two players are being compared and one is an oiler, regardless of the situation the OTHER guy is always better.

Now uve been educated

If we run a shotgun on 3rd and 1 I will personally run onto the field and smack the poop out of Kavis Reed.

I suppose it's possible. Galchenyuk dropped (slightly) because of injury. That being said, Murray and Yakupov were at the top of everyone's lists for a while so to say that Rielly was ahead of one/both would suggest that they rose over the course of the year. I dunno if that's true. I could see Rielly having been ahead of Rienhart I guess.

Ha ha ha I'm watching just for that. Plus this guy in my bar is obsessed with betting me cause he always loses so last night he like (frank)ing were betting on something so I picked the game tonight and he flipped a coin to see what team he was betting on he has Hamilton I got esks. Esks at home, been a way couple games, plus the d for Hamilton o line I'm confident he's going to lose this bet. He bet me like six times ranging from 100 to 200, I almost feel bad for the guy.

Edmonton should win. But Kavis Reed is possibly the worse professional coach I've ever seen. I just can't believe how much negative influence he has in a game.

Agreed. I was under the impression that yaks and murray were clear cut 1 and 2 with only galchenyuk possibly supplanting them for potential/talent reasons.
the question was where gally was gonna go due to the injuries and if he'd move up.

I never heard rielly ahead of any of them in neither talent nor rankings.
But yes, maybe ahead of reinhart


Yaks was clear cut 1 before the season even started

Nothing here about him having been a top 3 talent. That's not really a knock against his talent of course.

He still has the potential to be a steal at 5 which is saying a lot but only time will tell
