What can Leafs get in a Morgan Rielly trade? Would a Sundin-Chayka front office work?
About this episode
The episode discusses the potential trade scenarios for Morgan Rielly and the implications of a possible front office partnership between Mats Sundin and John Chayka.
Will the Toronto Maple Leafs be willing to do that it takes to make the tough call regarding Morgan Rielly? On today’s episode, Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti tackle the Rielly trade dilemma. With Rielly heading to the World Championships, can he reinvent his trade value? We look at the three realistic trade scenarios—including salary retention and the "Seth Jones model"—and whether moving on from Mo is the "difficult decision" the next GM has to make. They also dive into the massive rumors swirling around the Leafs front office as the organization reportedly waits on a decision from franchise legend Mats Sundin and what a potential partnership with analytics-forward John Chayka would actually look like. Is this the "Culture vs. Innovation" mesh the Leafs desperately need?
