If you are a rebuilding GM, would you rather have two 24-year old LHDs or one-year of Morgan Rielly? Because the price on Rielly is higher than the combined cost of the two younger, longer-term options.

It’s a no brainer.. it’s makes 0 sense to get him unless it’s a TDL deal and you’re a team competing for a cup. He can’t just be the difference of making playoffs or not.. then it’s pointless

If there is a 5 year extension in place for this it would make sense.
