Here's What Morgan Rielly's Extension Could Look Like.
The Toronto Maple Leafs luckily don't have any monster contracts that need to be handed out this offseason. There's of course Zach Hyman who's looking for a new deal but from all accounts, it's looking more and more likely that he's played his final game as a Leaf. Next year will be a different story of course. The pillar of the Leafs' defense will be looking for a new contract. Morgan Rielly will be 28 years old when it's time to try and bang out a new contract and despite the Leafs recent history of keeping pending free agents and letting them walk, Rielly could be a contender for the other scenarios. A trade could be likely however Rielly has been vocal about willing to take a hometown discount. Just what could that discount look like?According to James Mirtle of The Athletic, Rielly would likely be willing to sign something in the $6.5million AAV range with a long term deal. That would be way under the market value deal he could probably get at $8million or so AAV but on shorter term. Would you be willing to give Rielly a 7 year deal with a $6.5million AAV?
