Expect the Toronto Maple Leafs to clear a lot more cap-space ahead of the start of free agency.
After getting out of Petr Mrazek’s contract, for virtually nothing, the Toronto Maple Leafs cleared $3.8M in cap-space.
Before we talk about what the Leafs are going to do next, can we talk about how brilliant of a trade that was for the Leafs?
The No. 25 and No. 38 selections are virtually no different and all it took was swapping those picks to free up $3.8M in cap-space for two years, and save the team over $8 million in real money.
