I'm excited to see Rielly play with a competent partner.
Rielly-Muzzin
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Dermott-Hainsey
Third pairing is probably better than the second.
And it's not just saving .5 million. Next year Jake will be getting 7 million from somebody (not the Leafs) and Dermott can slide nicely into Gardiner's spot. He's already better than Gardiner IMO.

Just a quick thought, I like Flames 1st 2nd and 3 rd pairs much better, matching them up.
