Leafs could reportedly pursue several Ontario-born UFAs this summer
The Toronto Maple Leafs could reportedly be pursuing several Ontario-born free agents on the market this summer.
Many changes are expected to happen in Toronto this summer, and even if Treliving's focus will likely be on trades, it wouldn't be surprising to see him go after a few free agents on July 1st.
Toronto has a knack to attract players on the market. It's one of the biggest hockey cities in the League and the team is competitive every year.
Many players want to play for Toronto, especially Ontario-born players, who often grew up as Leafs fans.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the free agents born in Ontario that could be interested in joining the Leafs this summer. Some interesting names are on the list, such as Steven Stamkos, Adam Henrique and Matt Duchene:
Steven Stamkos
Brandon Montour
Sean Walker
Tyler Toffoli
Sean Monahan
Chris Tanev
Matt Duchene
Warren Foegele
Adam Henrique
Dylan DeMelo
Who will the Leafs bring home?"
There's a lot of great players here, but even getting just one of them could be a challenge for general manager Brad Treliving.
The Leafs dont have a lot of money available, and unless they trade one or two of their big contracts, it would be surprising to see a big picture player joining the team on the free agent market.
