The Toronto Marlies also house a number of pending free agents as they continue to march through the Calder Cup Playoffs. Because their season hasn’t ended yet, we’ll just focus on the Toronto Maple Leafs for now.
The Leafs have six pending unrestricted free agents, and five of them are forwards. There’s a good chance all five could be gone in September. That will be a huge change. There are also two restricted free agents. It’s four if you count Andreas Johnsson, who finished the season with the Leafs, and Martin Marincin, whose NHL salary is buried in the minors.
