"After a strong start, Rielly's performance declined significantly, becoming a net liability for the Maple Leafs. The team is expected to re-tool after missing the playoffs, which could lead to discussions about Rielly's future."
"Rielly stated, 'It's a challenging thing to answer when those conversations haven't happened yet... as an athlete, you have to be prepared for that. It's not the first time that it's crossed my mind.'"
