Chris Johnston reported on Tuesday evening that the Toronto Maple Leafs have shown interest in 38-year-old winger Justin Williams, who is currently contemplating his return to the ice this season after his contract expired in Carolina on July 1st, 2019.
The consensus has been that if Williams does play, it will be for Carolina, where his family lives and where he has been practicing as he contemplates his future. However, Johnston reports that he has taken some calls from contenders around the league:
I think it is coming to a head. It does some as though Justin has got to a point where he wants a resolution here to figure out what he wants to do.
