Thread: What to do with Rielly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Barilko14</b></div><div>Krug got 7 x $6.5m in the Pandemic. Reilly can ask for 7 x $7m and that would still be considered a home-town discount. I realize he likely wants to retire a Leaf, and people say "he really want to stay" quite often about players leading up to contracts, but there are not too many examples of guys in their late 20s actually taking less $$ or term or both. It's way more likely he asks for and gets market value. It just happened last summer with Pietrangelo. Every team has a "Rielly" a great player that's been with a team for 8+ years, but you rarely see big discounts from those guys, because it's their one big chance to get paid.

If Rielly can pretty easily get $49M on his next contract, I really don't see why he'd just agree to take $39M ($6.5m x 6). There's no chance he ever recoups that $10M. Even a rich athlete doesn't really want to leave $10M on the table. Not too mention he's given the Leafs more than anyone already, why would he be the one <strong>again</strong> to take less?

It's $10M, I doubt Rielly loves the team that much.

Also, the Pandemic squeezes the same guys that always get squeezed when there is less $$ to go around, the middle aged bottom pair, and bottom 6 guys. It won't hurt top pairing Dmen's pockets too much.</div></div>

Krug went to FA. Rielly may not, if he does he'll get more than Krug but if he does he knows TO is out. If TO and him are negotiating he should know they won't be the best offer. So we'll see. I hope he decides winning in TO is worth more millions but you could be right.

Thread: What to do with Rielly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Barilko14</b></div><div>The leadership issue is what worries me the most about letting him go.

If Dman (and players in general) begin to decline at age 30, isn't that an argument against re-signing Rielly.

A lot of his game depends on skating, when he loses a step will he just be a bit worse or are we looking at a Karlsson, Vlasic, etc situation?

Does it make sense to pay 29 to Rielly 7 x 7.5 (reasonable ask based on Krug deal) for his decline years?

Not starting a fight, big Rielly fan here, but I don't think a new Rielly contract is or should be a slam dunk.</div></div>

I don't think he'll be getting a max deal by any stretch more like. 5-6 year deal and I doubt he makes much more than 6.5. it's a flat cap and that could hurt his pocket book, plus he wants to be a leaf more than people realize.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TML_Tika</b></div><div>I think everyone is discounting the actual leadership skills and standing of Morgan Rielly on the Leafs.......I have been told by a number of people that Rielly is actually the real leader on the Leafs and alot of people thought he should have been the actual captain over Tavares.........Just think he is an incredible person and there is no way the Leafs are not resigning him.</div></div>

I agree. Remember how they handled the homophobic slur allegation? It was proven to be false and they could have left it at that but Rielly wanted to make a statement because in his word's "the fact that anyone thought it could have been said shows we need to do more to stamp this out!". Absolutely a class act.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>the issue with putting Sandin on unit 1 rn is its sending a message to Rielly your time is up and we are not bringing u back in 2022, but at the same time it also allows for Keefe to see if Sandin can QB unit 1 and do as good of a job/better job than Rielly ever did. Keefe knows this so hes playing his cards carefully as happy Rielly may take a discount to stay.

its tough to say rn whats gonna happen

as who knows Rielly may go sicko mode next season score 15 goals and have 70 points while Sandin just gets 10 points or something</div></div>

Marner QB's the PP, and now that they have been going downlow to Nylander it's started opening things up again. Blaming Rielly for the PP troubles is just the way Leaf fans on here operate. It's his fault regardless of who's fault it is. Marner trying the same thing for a full month every time (cross seem pass) and Rielly is to blame for somehow not controling Marner's body to do something different. Its ridiculous

Feel free to ask something relevant and I can continue to teach you so you can can go to your friends and have “your own opinion” for the first time in your life. But kudos, you got me with an impossible question. Well done</div></div>

An impossible question? Hilarious. You are so smart you have all the answers but it's too hard to look at up coming UFA's and list who you think is an adequate replacement for Rielly. How embarrassing for me, the egg on my face after thinking the guy who is teaching me so much is capable of something as simple as looking at upcoming UFA's on this site of all places. I guess I shouldn't be too hard on myself though, this same really smart guy (you in case my sarcasm is just beyond your understanding) thinks fanning on a shot is a legitimate reason to lose ones spot on a PP.
