The Toronto Maple Leafs had a quiet off-season, primarily acquiring Nicolas Roy from Vegas and Matias Maccelli. They traded enforcer Ryan Reaves for Henry Thrun. Analysts believe the Leafs must replace Mitch Marner's offensive contributions. Although there are suggestions for potential acquisitions like Nazem Kadri, his importance to Calgary makes a reunion unlikely. Other trade candidates include Pittsburgh's Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust, both of whom had strong seasons. The Leafs currently have $5.33 million in cap space, with Calle Jarnkrok and David Kampf likely candidates for trades to free up additional funds.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a quiet off-season in terms of acquisitions thus far. Their biggest additions were acquiring Nicolas Roy from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Mitch Marner and bringing in playmaking winger Matias Maccelli from the Utah Mammoth.
While Roy and Maccelli are good players, Sachdeva believes the Leafs must do more to replace Marner's offense. The Leafs' need for another scoring forward prompted Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun to suggest a reunion with Nazem Kadri.
Sachdeva suggested Pittsburgh Penguins forwards Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust as possible trade options. Rakell is coming off a career-best 35-goal season and has three years left on his contract with an average annual value of $5 million.
PuckPedia indicates the Leafs have $5.33 million in cap space for this season with 23 active roster players under contract. Sachdeva cited colleague Elliotte Friedman reporting that forwards Calle Jarnkrok ($2.1 million AAV) and David Kampf ($2.4 million) are candidates to be traded out of Toronto.
