“There’s a lot of irons in the fire and the Leafs want to make more moves” (Johnston)
Chris Johnston: “There’s a lot going on with the phone calls. I can tell you that much. Will it manifest itself in another move? That remains to be seen. But Lou Lamoriello, quite notably, didn’t speak to reporters after the Brian Boyle deal — a sign to me that he is working on some other things and the important aspect to remember here with the Toronto Maple Leafs is that they still have — this is after the Boyle deal — as much as $16m in cap space that they can take on at this deadline and use that to get another contract from another team that they don’t want, while the Leafs add back some draft picks that they could trade here, they’re kinda both buying and selling at the same time.
