The Toronto Maple Leafs can afford to add defenseman Scott Mayfield, but should they? He addresses a need, but is it enough?
During his 32 thoughts segment on February 22nd, Elliotte Friedman mentioned Radko Gudas and Scott Mayfield as possible options for the Toronto Maple Leafs to explore. Both are pending UFAs and would only be considered rentals. Mayfield is the cheaper of the two when it comes to salary cap implications. Gudas has a cap hit of $2.5 million, while Mayfield’s is $1.45 million.
Goaltender Matt Murray is likely returning from LTIR this coming week.
