Chicago trades
Murphy and tor 2nd rounder for Rielly (1.5 retain) then Chicago can decide what to do with Rielly.
They have 1 retain slot available so could easily retain any amount to go along with the 1.5 Toronto picked up and grab more picks and prospects. Or they keep him and hood once bedard is healthy he helps the back end offensively.

How’s that.

Shouldn’t that be the other way around, with Murphy to the Leafs while Rielly and a 2nd round pick go to Chicago.
Murphy is a far superior defenseman to Rielly!

It’s 1 for 1 and the 2nd is for a long term retain 4 years of retaining. again the jones 2.5 retain for 4 years wasn’t a reflection of jones value it’s the value of the retain and 2.5 (10 million) gets you a 1st 1.5 (6 million) probably a second. Jones then at 7 million was traded for a high end very young goalie and his potential

So look at this trade as Rielly at 6 million for Murphy and the second is for retaining.
