The Toronto Maple Leafs will absolutely be in the market for some cheap additions to their roster this summer.
Gabriel Vilardi, who was drafted 11th overall in 2017, could be an option from the Los Angeles Kings; a team that the Toronto Maple Leafs have recent trade history with, if they opted for the trade route.
His struggles in the past season have him likely available at the his lowest trade cost (a likely necessity despite his free agent status), all this despite Vilardi having first-round pedigree.
Franky the Toronto Maple Leafs should at least test the waters on this 6-foot-3 centre, certainly when you consider he’s a restricted free agent coming off a bad year that saw him demoted to the AHL.
