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

[Weezeric]

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.

This is a good deal for the leafs. It will be interesting to see what they do with the cap though

 

[Lays]

Yikes

 

[tom leafers]

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

This has to be the last year for the core, specially if we dont do anything in the playoffs again. If we miss/lose in the first round, i absolutely can not see how the leafs keep Marner. although weve been saying this for a few years now..

It’s one of the better deals that Dubas has negotiated. It’s not great but not terrible. Hopefully he can pick it up and it will look a great deal.

im very happy with the deal. I love Mo and think hes a very under appreciated member of the team

 

[MoreMogilny]

This is a fair deal. Considering what others are getting.

Rielly on the open market gets considerably more.

Nobody wants Marner.

It's not a terrible deal, but I don't think he's a #1 D

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Decent deal relative to others signed of late, but obviously anything 8 years carries risk. I could try and pick this apart a bit more, analyze his play, etc, but you know what? We're all fans at the end of the day. He's a good player and a good guy and I'm glad it looks like he'll spend his career as a Leaf.

 

[Leafidelity]

Ya I’m good with that number

 

[Sheppy]

Seems like a solid deal to me

 

[LOFIN]

A great deal. Good for Morgan to realize what he needs to give up to stay a Leaf, and good Dubas for getting it done.

 

[29Potvin]

WTF hopefully no NTC

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

Do you watch the games?? He has been the best dman on the leafs.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

2.5 million raise on this guy's last big contract. Looking at the comparables and recent signings, Leafs management made out well. Along with Spezza, Leafs fans should feel very lucky to have a player of his caliber playing for the team and not just chasing the money/ego. Looking at you Mitch

 

[BigRig4]

Given how crazy the market has been for defence lately, this is a solid number.

 

[JT Kreider]

Dubas could not let Rielly walk it would have been crippling so in that sense this is a great deal.

 

[BrockLobster]

Thats like 45 mil of the 82 mil on 5 guys. Seems sustainable

 

[A1LeafNation]

All these D signing for 8-9m.

Leafs got a bargain!

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Steal.

-Caps fan.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Man, and the Leafs continue to make every other fanbase laugh at them.

 

[Gravity]

It's a good deal but one begins to wonder why the Leafs are sticking with all the same players when that recipe hasn't worked.

 

[sens13]

very fair deal

 

[HarrisonFord]

Nobody wants Marner.

Lmao

 

[deckercky]

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

Good contract looking only at the player Rielly is, but will lead to some pain for the team. Not sure how they will retain Campbell or the 5 RFAs on the team (I don't think the team could afford their QOs, which require a 10% raise).

 

[Mackiaveli]

Shit I misspelled his name, sorry mods

Mo Money, Mo Problems

for their cap
