I might be crazy, but Rilley hasn't looked bad.

Him and Tanev might work again without Berube.

Him and Tanev worked previously, the reason Tanev was taken from Rielly is because McCabe was struggling without Tanev at the time, badly.

It's because McCabe isn't great on his offside and Tanev was the only righty.

McCabe-Raddysh, Rielly-Tanev needs a seious look under Hiller.

I really don’t get why that wasn’t the go to top pairings from the start. All summer long it was assumed that was what they would roll with and all of a sudden we hear about Rielly-Raddysh and McCabe-Tanev being the top four. I just don’t get it, even if you want to keep McCabe-Tanev as a pair wouldn’t OEL be a better fit beside Raddysh than Rielly is?
