"Michael Amadio of Sportsnet has recently reported the Sharks' interest. Amadio believes that the Sharks can be a suitable team to acquire his rights, as they have the cap space and are part of the rebuild, where they need proven NHL players to lead the way. Rielly has spent his entire 13-year career with the Maple Leafs, but the past two seasons have led many to believe it is time for a change."
"Sharks general manager Mike Grier will have to work closely with Treliving to make this deal worthwhile on both ends. If Treliving expresses a willingness to move on from their star defenceman, it could open the door to many other teams. If the Leafs are moving on from Morgan Rielly this summer, the Sharks feel like one of the most ideal trade partners. Only two D signed for next season. Keep in mind that with the cap skyrocketing, the floor is going up, too."
Toronto faces roster and asset decisions before the March 6 trade deadline. Morgan Rielly is connected to trade interest from the San Jose Sharks, who have cap space and are rebuilding while seeking proven NHL players to lead their roster. Rielly has spent 13 seasons with Toronto, and recent performance and circumstances have prompted consideration of a change. Sharks general manager Mike Grier would need to work with Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving for a mutually valuable exchange. If Toronto moves Rielly, multiple teams could pursue him. Toronto won three road games before the Olympic break as Rielly dealt with a lingering upper-body injury expected to resolve after the break. Rielly is the longest-tenured Maple Leaf.
