The Toronto Maple Leafs Have the Assets for a Blockbuster Move.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are heavily expected to chase unrestricted free-agent Alex Pietrangelo when the NHL’s free-agency period opens up next week.
Pietrangelo represents the best defenseman to come on the open market since Zedeno Chara signed with the Boston Bruins back in 2005. Whatever the risks, its hard to see the Leafs not at least attempting to land Pietrangelo – if you can land a hall of famer defenseman, you’ve got to try.
