Signing Brad Marchand would be another summer W for Maple Leafs' Brad Treliving
Article content Tanev set a poised tone for the defence corps, emerging as one the Leafs' most important players, and Stolarz had his best season in the National Hockey League despite missing time because of a knee issue before a concussion knocked him out of the second round of the playoffs against the Florida Panthers. Defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson also turned out be a good addition and forwards Steven Lorentz and Max Pacioretty, signed after attending training camp on a professional tryout, each made physical contributions. As we await word on whether the Leafs and Vegas Golden Knights are able to complete a trade involving the rights to star winger Mitch Marner before free agency opens at 12 p.m. on Tuesday, Treliving and his staff will be putting finishing touches on the club's desired list of free agents. After John Tavares signed for four years and an average annual value of $4.38 million US on Friday, the Leafs are approximately $21.3 million under the salary cap. Restricted free agent Matthew Knies reportedly has signed a six-year deal worth $7.75 million per season, which would leave approximately $14 million in the Leafs' bank account.
