Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star: (mailbag) The Toronto Maple Leafs re-signing Michael Hutchinson would give them insurance for Garret Sparks.
Guessing that Ron Hainsey will be re-signed. Calle Rosen should fill in for the injured Travis Dermott.
The Carolina Hurricanes are an obvious potential trade partner with so many right-handed defensemen. Brett Pesce is the Maple Leafs likely target, but would prefer Dougie Hamilton.
Could they get creative and come together with the Edmonton Oilers for Adam Larsson, sending the Oilers some forward help.
