The Maple Leafs are just entering their Brad Treliving Era, and with it will come adjustments within the organization.

People are already starting to wonder what the Leafs' roster will look like next season.
A big part of this debate concerns the free agent market.

If O'Reilly and Murray Aren't Back...

Many scenarios are being looked at right now, and this particular one is interesting if Ryan O'Reilly and Matt Murray aren't back in Toronto next season.
Then, they should have around $20 million in cap space, having all the necessities to go for the most interesting UFAs.

Three UFAs That the Leafs Should Go After

Patrick Kane
Kane just underwent hip surgery and will miss the next four to six months. If everything goes according to plan, he could play in October. However, teams will be careful with him. He's not getting any younger, but he can still contribute.
Vladimir Tarasenko
Tarasenko and Matthews on the same powerplay unit would simply be incredible to see. The problem is that he could ask for a lot of money. If the Leafs decide to move someone in the Core Four, Tarasenko would be a great replacement.
Dmitry Orlov
Considering the need to reinforce the blue line, getting Orlov would be a great move. He showed what he was capable of in Boston during the end of the season and the playoffs.
These players could bring the experience needed in Toronto to win a Stanley Cup. All of them already won one, so they know what it takes to get there.
Treliving will certainly consider all the possibilities, but it wouldn't be surprising to see one of these three players to join the Leafs this summer.
