Negotiations for Rielly have already started. Pierre Lebrun reported earlier Rielly wants to stay in Toronto and is willing to take a pay-cut on a long term deal.
He will probs get a deal around 7.5mill for 8 years.
With the cap potentially going up to 82.5mill according to Serevalli that makes it easier for the leafs to give him that kind of money.
Now also mentioned if a deal is not finalized by the start of training camp he may be moved if the deal is right. But that comes with big risks as moving him could send the wrong message in the locker room or his replacement may not fit well with the team and that can cause problems during the season. Seattle has been linked so will need to monitor the situation on that front but dont look to much into it rn.
In general though the situation must be approached with care as one wrong move could spell trouble
