"David Pagnotta on The Sheet: "He's got the full no-move...he's got control basically; I think that [conversation]...will eventually happen; I believe they had a loose conversation at the end of last season." According to Pagnotta, the Leafs have already had conversations with Rielly, but the Leafs have little to no control over what his future holds. If Rielly wants to move on from the Leafs, he will be able to lift the no-movement clause; the Leafs can't trade him without his permission."
"Morgan Rielly holds the power between the two of them on whether he wants to remain a Maple Leaf. Rielly is the longest tenured Maple Leaf, as he made his NHL debut in 2013-14. The reality of Rielly's contract situation makes this far more difficult for any trade to occur. There have been rumours of Rielly being linked to the San Jose Sharks, but it's tough to predict if this is something he would be interested in."
The Maple Leafs have shifted into seller mode for the first time in a decade, creating pressure to retool the roster. Morgan Rielly is a potential trade candidate but possesses a full no-movement clause that gives him control over any relocation. There were loose conversations between Rielly and team management at the end of last season, but the club cannot force a trade without his permission. Rielly is the longest-tenured Maple Leaf, debuting in 2013-14. Rumors have linked him to the San Jose Sharks, but his willingness to waive the clause remains uncertain and decisive.
