Maple Leafs Free Agency, Offer Sheets, and Other News

In this episode of the ToT-cast, David Morassutti and Jake Middleton preview the Toronto Maple Leafs free agency, review their draft strategy and much more. Unfortunately, this podcast was recorded prior to Steven Stamkos re-signing in Tampa Bay, so enjoy the brief Leafs and Stamkos rhetoric! To start the show they discuss Frederik Andersen's contract and what it means(0:30), the Leafs qualifying offers (8:45), and a review of the team's draft strategy (16:00). From there they examine the Steven Stamkos saga (30:45), other free agents they could pursue, including Jimmy Vesey (41:50), and the Kerby Rychel trade (47:20). To close out the show they discuss Mike Babcock saying that Auston Matthews will be their third line centre (53:58), and if the Leafs should make an offer sheet to any restricted free agents (58:20). * * * You can listen to every episode of the ToT-cast on iTunes, SoundCloud, or stream it from our website.
