Morgan Rielly

[arso40]

There isn't much you can do really. You ask where he might waive to, and if he says no... that's pretty much it. I would think it's probable that he might consider waiving to destinations of his choice, but you'd have to be pretty certain he'd do it, as you don't want the negative fallout either. A buyout isn't very attractive, as the signing bonuses don't get discounted, so it's a pretty big hit.

I guess it depends on your thinking... can we get a better player for that type of savings?

Yeah I think a buyout is out of the question tbh

Reilly is God awful, unplayable

For this organization you’re probably right. For an organization that demands accountability and cares about winning championships it would be an easy decision.

Holy f***, is he actively trying to get benched... or is this just all he has right now..? Yikes.

Goes to show when a narrative kicks in around here it takes a long time to go away

That MO Carlo pairing looks bloody good to me since Carlo got here, two guys that suit each other's playing style and bring out the best in each other

Morgan was awful tonight. No hockey sense, no poise. Risky, ill timed pinches every game. Id imagine retaining 2 million on his contract would make him tradeable? Even at 5.5 I wouldnt want him on my squad.

I think the leafs don't want to hurt his feeling and the unknown but when MO has been out of the lineup we have looked better defensively.
Vegas Florida TB don't care about feelings the want a Cup.
Personally didn't want them to sign him to that contract .
So if we shit the bed in the playoffs or MO sucks trade him retain 2.5 mil we still won't get much for him but a change is needed for both.

Unplayable. How can a person fall off like this. Makes no sense. Put those 3 core players back in and Rielly would be wrecked last night.

They have .800 winning % without him in the lineup. As you said, they won’t get much in a trade for him and will have to retain $2-3M. A
