The Toronto Maple Leafs have made some moves this summer that I have been extremely critical of.
For example, the $11 million dollars spent on Reaves, Domi, Klingberg and Kampf is, I believe, a major mistake by incoming Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving.
I do, however, see a method to his madness that perhaps I didn’t previously consider.
Domi and Klingberg are on single-year deals, so the Leafs have $7 million they could swap out at the dealine pretty easily if they want to. They could bury Reaves in the AHL and Kampf could also probably be traded fairly easily.
