The Toronto Maple Leafs should have no interest in adding Jake Virtanen to their roster.
On Sunday morning, the Vancouver Canucks announced that Jake Virtanen was “placed on unconditional waivers for the purposes of a buyout.” It’s a move that will make him an unrestricted free agent, available to sign with any team. The Toronto Maple Leafs should not even consider the idea of adding Virtanen.
