FROM KEVIN MCGRAN’S MAI L B AG

Many fans (including me) are critical of Morgan Rielly’s often ill-advised pinches and forays into the offensive zone, and the resulting oddman rushes that often result in highdanger chances the other way. Some characterize him as being a fourth forward. The Leafs have been trying for a while to find a good fit on LW with the Tavares line. Why not give Rielly a try there for a game or two, once T.J. Brodie returns to action? Where’s the harm? Ron A. You’re not the first, Ron, to suggest Rielly would thrive on the wing. I tend to agree, and don’t understand why it doesn’t happen more often. Brent Burns is the last (I can remember) moving from defence to wing (and back). But the Leafs aren’t going to mess around with their No. 1 defenceman.
