Rielly, who has never played for another NHL team outside the Maple Leafs since debuting in the league in the 2013-14 season, is said to have submitted a list containing four teams he is willing to be traded to.
" Morgan Rielly 's agent J.P Barry has submitted a list of 4 Western based teams Rielly is willing to go to," Darren Dreger of TSN shared via a social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
"This will be a team by team assessment and depending on the fit, there could be some flexibility to add teams to the list."
The 32-year-old Rielly is still under contract that will carry him through the 2029-30 season and has an average annual value of $7.5 million.

Perhaps two of those teams were those mentioned by Dreger's TSN colleague, Pierre LeBrun, on Tuesday.
"Morgan Rielly, as Jonas Siegel reported last week, is open to a move. My sense is that teams like San Jose and Anaheim would be high on his list," LeBrun said. "Certainly, I know for a fact, he sent a Western Conference heavy list, suggested list to the Leafs, Morgan Rielly did, so we'll see what the Leafs will do with that," LeBrun said (h/t Tyler Kuehl of Daily Faceoff).
A Rielly trade will be another big change in Toronto, which has already traded goaltender Joseph Wall to the Philadelphia Flyers and hired a new Maple Leafs head coach in Jim Hiller .
In 951 games played with the Maple Leafs, Rielly has collected 98 goals and 451 assists for a total of 549 points.
