With Mitch Marner needing a new contract, the Toronto Maple Leafs are seemingly maxed out against the salary cap.
Now, I think that the issues are a bit overblown as the Leafs can probably solve most of their problems by getting rid of Patrick Marleau and Nikita Zaitsev.
But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be looking for value players. Players like Tyler Ennis, who can come in on cheap deals and provide excellent value compared to what they are paid.
A player like Nail Yakupov.
