Toronto Maple Leafs: Is Michael Bunting Worth a Monster Extension?

The 2022-23 season just started but the Toronto Maple Leafs have serious questions to ask themselves about Michael Bunting next offseason.

Michael Bunting is set to become an Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA) next summer, but that could change if the Toronto Maple Leafs sign him to an extension.

The 27-year-old only makes $950K right now and was an “unknown” player when the team signed him last year. However, he wasn’t a surprise to the Leafs coach or GM, as Bunting had previously played for the Soo Greyhounds, under Sheldon Keefe and Kyle Dubas.

Ever since junior hockey, Bunting has been a late-bloomer.
