Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] Leafs extend Morgan Rielly (8 years, $7.5M AAV)

[TheGreenTBer]

Your move Mr Fox

Fox has a Norris trophy and is 23 years old. Is Rielly is a comparable?

[Man Bear Pig]

That's a great contract...for once

 

[AvroArrow]

I love it, 8 more years completely fair value. I was hoping for 7M but 7.5 is alright.

Also I have no f***ing clue what roster moves we're going to make next year now, but very very happy Dubas locked him up.

 

[Dan Patrick]

Good deal for the leafs

 

[CartographerNo611]

Is he still good? Seems to have faded a lot

He looked average when I saw a leafs game a few nights ago. Have no idea why Dubas is doubling down on this core though. There needs to be a shake up.

 

[SI90]

Solid and fair deal. Why could Marner and Matthews be signed to better deals? This won’t hurt the leafs. Reilly is a legit top4 defenseman.

As an isles fan though it makes the Pelech and Pulock deals even greater.

 

[Zach716]

Hahahahahahahahaha. He’s 27. Takes him to 35.

The answer clearly is to rid yourself of your #1 dman.

 

[Holls Blackmail]

Hahahahahahahahaha. He’s 27.

What are you laughing at? Dahlin blowing tires in his own end each night costing his team goals?

 

[Geoff72]

Crazy to think this guy makes Victor Hedman kind of money.....

Not going to find a replacement #1 dman for 7.5 mill on the open market

No, but a boy can dream

 

[Paradoc]

He's been so shit in his own end for over 2 years. Don't like.

He’s been our best dman in the playoffs consistently.

I like this deal.

Dubas has bet his career on his core, which is obviously stupid but that's his problem.

 

[MatthewBarnabysTears]

Staring at Pelech/Pulock contracts: Uhhh yeah sure they didn’t overpay.

 

[Holls Blackmail]

He’s been our best dman in the playoffs consistently.

I like this deal.

Not a chance. His partner has been. Brodie covers so many mistakes that you can't/choose not to see.

 

[6ix]

Fair deal. Nothing to fist pump or shake your head at.

 

[SI90]

Hahahahahahahahaha. He’s 27. Takes him to 35.

most UFA’s are 27-30 and end up signing long term deals. See Dougie Hamilton

 

[bsu]

Yikes

 

[tom leafers]

I guess the Leafs are going with Mrazek as their number one. The have 5M left for 8 roster spots next year…

at least Phil kessel's $1.2m salary retention comes off the books after this year so we have that going for us, which is nice.

 

[inthewings]

Leafs won't be able to afford Campbell now unless someone with a 5+M salary is moved out.

 

[SI90]

He’s been our best dman in the playoffs consistently.

I like this deal.

yeah but it’s always a small sample size every year

 

[Leafsforlife98]

Took a discount to stay a Leaf. He knows what it means to be a Leaf. Wish a couple others were the same. This almost guarantees a big trade coming.

 

[Hitemwith4]

WTF hopefully no NTC

Hopefully now that has a contract maybe he will start playing better
