The Calgary Flames surprisingly released Sonny Milano and Cody Eakin from their Professional Tryout (PTO) today, which means the Toronto Maple Leafs should capitalize.
The Toronto Maple Leafs depth is strong but they have a chance to make it even better by signing one of (or both) Eakin and Milano.
For months, I’ve hoped that the Leafs would sign Milano. The former first round pick is only 26-year-old, is a left-winger and scored 14 goals in the NHL last year with the Anaheim Ducks. Based on that stature, he felt like a perfect player that Kyle Dubas would give a tryout to.
