We have no idea who’s going to play second-line left-wing for the Toronto Maple Leafs this season.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have Alex Kerfoot, who played their the most last year. He is far better than most, if not all, team’s 4th best winger. He also makes $3.5 million and is a pending UFA. Most of his current salary is already paid in signing bonus form, and therefore he’s an extremely valuable trade chip on a team currently over the cap.
It cannot be assumed he will be the Leafs 2LW this year, because he seems the most likely to be moved to solve the current cap overage + the Sandin problem, although he is an option.
