"Morgan Rielly's point total is on pace to decrease for the second consecutive season, recording 58 points in 2023-24, 41 in 2024-25, and just 33 currently."
"In 5-on-5 situations, Rielly has registered a CF% below 50% during the past two seasons and an expected goals rate below 50% for the past three seasons."
"Rielly could still be a valuable top-four defender in the league, but it hasn't been working for him with the current system deployed by the Maple Leafs."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are contemplating a retooling strategy after a disappointing season. Trade interest in defenseman Morgan Rielly was noted during the last trade deadline, with expectations that this interest will continue into the summer. Rielly's performance has declined, with a decrease in point totals over the past two seasons and poor metrics in 5-on-5 situations. Despite being a valuable top-four defender, his fit within the current system has not been effective, drawing comparisons to former player Larry Murphy's struggles.
