Michael Bunting signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs was perhaps the least surprising acquisition for the team on the opening day of free agency. The story is a familiar one in a long line of former Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds being brought into the organization to unite with GM Kyle Dubas and Head Coach Sheldon Keefe.
Bunting, from Scarborough, has been overachieving his entire career, having not even played AAA hockey until he was 17-years-old, he played for the Don Mills Flyers. Bunting led his team with 27 goals in his first year of AAA hockey, and nobody else had more than nine.
