The Maple Leafs and top defenceman Morgan Rielly have agreed to terms on an eight-year extension, the team announced Friday. The deal is reportedly worth an AAV of $7.5 million.
More to come.
The Maple Leafs indicated that Morgan Rielly would be moved or signed by training camp but the defenceman is back in blue with no clarity over his future. Does Quinn Hughes six-year deal with the Canucks worth US$7.85M a year give an indication of Rielly's value on the market or will the 27-year-old command more if he hits free-agency?
