The Toronto Maple Leafs biggest acquisition of the off-season was T.J Brodie.
In fact, if you look around the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs big off-season acquisition may have been the second biggest one any team in the NHL made over the entire off-season.
Everyone knows Alex Pietrangelo was the big fish of the NHL off-season, but I’d argue that because the Knights had to move Nathan Schmidt to make room for him, that they didn’t really improve all that much.
