Josh Leivo egy az egyben Lupul. Nagyon durva mennyire hasonlítanak, mind testfelépítésben mind játékstílusban. Remélem látjuk idén 1-2 meccsen a Leafs-ben, addig is szépen fejlődik majd a Marlies-ban.

Rielly kurva jó volt este. Nagyon nehéz lesz leküldeni őt. A 9 meccset mindenképp megérdemli.

“I think Morgan Rielly is very close,” Carlyle said.

“To say unequivocally he’s ready to play in the NHL is a tough question to answer . . . at this point we’re certain he’s played well and he’s only going to get better. I have a one vote, and as a management group we’ll sit down and decide what’s best for Morgan Rielly and what’s best for the Toronto Maple Leafs.”

Rielly feels ready for the NHL at 19, but he’s also prepared for a return ticket to junior hockey if that’s the way it goes.

“I feel like I can (play with the Leafs), but that’s up to coaches if they want me to play here,” Rielly said.

“They have a goal and that’s to play in the playoffs. If they chose to keep me or put me back in junior, I will understand. If I go back, I won’t have any complaints. There’s a great group of coaches here. Dave Nonis has a good idea of what he wants to do, and I understand if (he returns to junior).”
