The Toronto Maple Leafs and Morgan Rielly are likely to explore trade options this offseason, as the veteran defenseman has softened his stance on waiving his no-movement clause.
Rielly would have to approve the destination in any potential trade. He's under contract through the 2029-30 season at a cap hit of $7.5 million.
The 32-year-old is Toronto's longest-tenured player, suiting up for 13 seasons with the club after being drafted fifth overall in 2012. Rielly ranks second in franchise history in points by a defenseman (549) and third in games played (951).
