The Toronto Maple Leafs might have found some gold in the bargain Bin.
This off-season, the Toronto Maple Leafs concentrated on signing free agents from what I would call the “value menu.” Fans always love to see the big signings (We all went nuts when the Leafs signed John Tavares in 2018), but this season we knew they weren’t going to land Dougie Hamilton or Gabriel Landeskog when they couldn’t even re-sign Zach Hyman.
Part of the Leafs salary cap strategy is contingent on their confidence in being able to find value players like Alex Galchenyuk or Ilya Mikheyev.
