Morgan Rielly has had a disappointing year with the Maple Leafs, to say the least. Expectations were high for the 30-year-old defenceman, after coming off a rough year last year, many would have believed that Rielly would have a bounce-back year heading into 2025-26.
However, that is far from the truth, as his struggles have gotten worse throughout the season. Rielly is no longer capable of being a top-line defenceman.
