I've noticed some interesting trends in Leafs articles over the last few weeks. Nothing much is said about Reilly while Gardiner is frequently mentioned as somebody who needs to pick up his game. When I look at the Leafs' team stats, I see that Gardiner has (by far) their best plus-minus; Reilly has (by far) their worst.

Now, just for the record, I hold what I believe to be the consensus view, that Reilly is the better prospect. Still, it's kind of interesting. Plus-minus obviously does not tell the whole story, but within the same team, wide gaps mean something.
