Tavares is not a leader.

Never has been. Was given the C of a dogshit franchise because they wanted him to grow into one, not because he was one. Led that team to nothing. Was then given it by another dogshit franchise because they wanted him to lead a group of talented kids, who all surpassed him in everything within 12-24 months and he's led them to nothing.

News flash. None of our guys are the screaming Paul Newman in Slap Shot type guy who will fire everyone up or rip anyone a new one. When Tavares is gone, you think any of Matty, Marner, or Willy will make any kind of impassioned speech that gets anyone pumped up?

These guys are hockey's league of extraordinary gentlemen. The core 4 have a combined total of 54 penalty minutes, all from accidental trips and pucks over the glass.
 
I just want a tough defenseman who can skate with Rielly. Play 90% defense and pass the puck to the right players in the offensive zone in the other 10%.

Can we stop this though? The answer to getting the best out of Rielly isn't giving him a "tough defenceman" and then giving him heavy lifting minutes. It's to shelter him. You could literally play him with anyone NHL calibre at that point and he's going to beast. Lilly, Timmins, McCabe, whoever. Rielly shouldn't be within screaming distance of the defensive heavy lifting and putting him with a defender who can handle the heavies just provides incentive to put Rielly in a position he's continually failed in.

I tend to agree with LOF here.

Even though Tavares is completely void of personality and day by day slowly drains the humanity from his wife and child with his cold dead robot eyes and pre-determined generic responses to every question im not convinced all hockey players are that much less boring where it matters much
