Rumours have been swirling that teams are sniffing around the availability of Zaitsev which includes the likes of the Canucks, Oilers, and others. The Toronto Maple Leafs clearly want to make a move, but the Marner situation is holding everything up.
Many fans know the Leafs are in a cap crunch. Trading Marleau helped over the draft weekend towards clearing space to sign Marner, Kapanen, and Johnsson.
CapFriendly suggests that the Leafs now have $13,540,301 in cap space, but to get all these guys signed they will need to get rid of Zaitsev.
