McCabe has been better than advertised. Love the guy so far and really liked the pairs last night
McCabe is the Brodie 2.0 we’ve been searching for
Insanely reliable, great at both ends
The fact we got him for $2M x 3 is absolutely mental
Rielly should just be a sheltered 3rd pairing offensive specialist. Sucks that he’s already at this stage with another 7 years to go, but he’s proven he can’t handle the tough minutes without a babysitter

For anyone wondering how this is for Mo’s pairings (xGF%, xGF/60, xGA/60):
– Lily: 48.94%, 2.49, 2.6
– Brodie: 53.29%, 3.02, 2.65
– Holl: 50.56%, 2.8, 2.74
– Schenn: 48.27%, 2.88, 3.09
– Gus: 40.52%, 3.44, 5.05
Edit: formatting, bold for best, italics for worst
Edit2: does this suggest that Lily brings out the best defensively with Mo? Surely with time, they can learn how to better active on offence.
Edit3: this IMO would work well if McCabe-Brodie is to remain, as we know that Gio-Holl has been effective together also (54.53% xGF%, 2.78 xGF/60, 2.32 xGA/60).
Leaf fans know better than anyone, Rielly is a 2nd pair offensive defenseman, at his absolute best that 1 season a 1st pair offensive specialist. Which is ok if they actually deployed him that way
For anyone wondering about sample size as I was:
Rielly Brodie TOI together: 308:55 over 41 games.
McCabe Brodie TOI together: 114:16 over 12 games.
The shutdown pair we have been waiting for. Now it’s just a question of how to hide Rielly defensively. Schenn? Can’t be Holl. Lilly with him is off and on.
