The Toronto Maple Leafs would love to add a power-forward like Matt Tkachuk to their lineup.
Unfortunately, that is not a realistic option for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Leafs have four forwards who combine to make roughly $40 million dollars and about half of their salary cap.
While this has proven to be a smart strategy (they are the NHL’s 6th best team since Sheldon Keefe took over, which is a 208 game sample, and they can find cheap, quality players for free, seemingly at will) they aren’t likely to add a fifth superstar forward anytime soon.
