The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Wednesday that the team has signed defenceman Morgan Rielly and forward Nazem Kadri to new six-year contracts.

Rielly, 22, led all Maple Leafs defencemen with a career-high 36 points (nine goals, 27 assists) while skating in all 82 games this year. The native of Vancouver, British Columbia also led the team with 23:13 of average ice time per game. Since entering the league in 2013-14, the fifth overall selection in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft has collected 92 points (19 goals, 73 assists) in 236 regular season games. Rielly was named to Team Canada’s roster for the 2016 IIHF World Championship earlier this week.

Kadri, 25, led the Maple Leafs with 45 points (17 goals, 28 assists) in 76 games this season. In parts of seven NHL seasons, the London, Ontario native has registered 197 points (81 goals, 116 assists) and 207 penalty minutes in 326 regular season games. Kadri was originally selected by the Maple Leafs with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

I like the Rielly signing, but he is not a #1 Dman, 

Kadri is a huge mistake at 6 years

To have a playoff caliber team you need at minimum 2 of these 3 things

1. Top 15 - #1 Center

2. Top 15 -  #1 Dman

3. Top 15 - #1 Goaltender

The Leafs don't have any of these, I guess they are counting on Matthews or Stamkos

At 22 years old, I think it's safe to say that most defensemen aren't #1 defensemen. But with a career high with 36 points, every year looking stronger and faster, I'd say the odds are in his favor.

 

And I hate the Leafs.
