The Toronto Maple Leafs missed out on the top-ranked UFA this off-season and it’s for the best.
Remember when we wanted the Toronto Maple Leafs to sign Alex Pietrangelo? Oh what a time to be alive.
Pietrangelo was the best free agent defenseman to become available in years and he actually wanted to play for the Leafs.
