MORGAN RIELLY RUMORS
Nonis: Gunnarsson departure means Gardiner, Rielly need to step up
One of the curious trades made on Saturday involved the Toronto Maple Leafs. They dealt defenseman Carl Gunnarsson and the 90th overall pick to the St. Louis Blues for Roman Polak.
While that deal netted the Leafs a physical blue liner, it also sent Dion Phaneuf‘s top-pairing partner out of town. That means there’s a spot next to the Leafs captain and a chance to play a lot...

How About Some Leafs Talk
from Mike Brophy of CBC,
From this little corner of the hockey universe, I see only four players on the Maple Leafs who should be considered untouchables: Bernier, defencemen Morgan Rielly and Jake Gardiner and left-winger James van Riemsdyk.
All others should be made available to allow Toronto to become a better defensive team that is willing to pay a price for victory...

Morgan Rielly Is NHL-Ready
from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
With 10 days to the beginning of the 2013-14 NHL season, there’s still time left to evaluate whether Rielly, at 19, is ready for the NHL.

Top-prospect Rielly in tough to crack Leafs roster
Morgan Rielly has looked through the numbers.
You can bet the Toronto Maple Leafs have as well.
“I’d be lying if I told you that I didn’t know what Capgeek was” Rielly said Saturday when asked whether he’s paid any attention to where he might fit on the NHL team’s depth chart. “I’ve checked.”
