Imagine if the Toronto Maple Leafs had Justin Williams — aka Mr. Game 7 — back in 2013, 2018 or 2019... things might have turned out a little differently.
TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reported Tuesday that the Leafs recently pitched the three-time Stanley Cup champion, who currently sits unsigned after deciding to step away from the Carolina Hurricanes before the season.
While the Hurricanes continue to work on a contract for Justin Williams, complicated by the 35 and over rules and bonuses and their cap situation, word is the Maple Leafs also made a pitch to Williams this week.
