Ex-NHLer opines Morgan Rielly should allow Maple Leafs to trade him by lifting his no-move clause 

Form Nhler Nick Kyprus Believes Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly SHOULD CONSIDER WAIVING HIS NO-MOVE CLUSE TO ALLOW THE TEAM TO TRADE HIM.

The Maple Leafs Suffered Another Early Playoff Exit, Losing to the Florida Panthers In Round 2. Despite Starting 63% of His Playoff Shifts in the Offensive Zone, The Leafs Were Still Outshot and Outscored While He was on the Ice, per Natural Stat Trick.

With Rielly Signed for Five More Years at A $ 7.5 Million Cap Hit and Possessing A Full No-Move Clause, He controls His Future Destination. But kyprofeos argued on sportsnet 590’s “the fan” podcast that rielly should allow a trade if it’s clear there’s no future for him in Toronto:

“I Honestly Believe that where you have a no-move or not, if it looks it’s not Going AnyWhere, or there is a mutual feel, between Two Parties-in This Case, Morgan and the Leafs-That We’re On The Same Page, Then Morgan Should Conside No-Move. ”

KyPreos Suggestéd that a change of scenery could reinvigorate rielly’s career, just as it did for Seth jones after he was traded from chicago to florida after Requesting a trade.

“Another Morgan Can Come Alive With Another Team. I Think Seth Jones Showed a lot of Guys that ifn’t right, the chemistry isn’t right, it doesn’t mean you’re no long good. It means that you can thrive somewhere. Not Thriving Here, “He Added.

The Maple Leafs Face Major Offseason Choices, with Mitch Marner and John Tavares’s future under Speculation. However, Morgan Rielly’s Status is also one to Monitor, as Toronto Could Consider Changes Following Another Disappointing Playoff Run.

NHL Analyst Justin Bourne’s Take on Morgan Rielly

NHL Analyst Justin Bourne Agreed With Nick Kyprus’s Assessment that Morgan Riellly May Not Be Worth His $ 7.5 million Cap Hit Going Forward. Bourne Said:

“I just think the problem is that he’s not a problem, right? Well, and that’s fine to think that he is … but i mean, he can justify roughly his salary … i would be very – i’m interestd to see the leafs and morgan can comic to somehingory Do. ”

Rielly Holds the Power Over His Future Thanks to His No-Move Clause. Where He Decides to Leave Toronto Will Likely Depend On Whether It Becomes Clear That Smoing Ways Ald Be the Best Move for Both Him and the Team.
