Nothing would feel better for the Toronto Maple Leafs than signing a cheap player that overperforms.
When you’re in a cap crunch, you need to find cost-effective players that offer more upside than their contracts. With only $9.3 million in cap space, the Toronto Maple Leafs need to find those players to fill out their roster.
The issue is cheap players are usually unproven and involve risk. It’s all about narrowing down the players with the least risk possible.
