Maple Leafs: Time to Pay the Piper


The Leafs have some things to think about going into the off-season. The biggest being who they will add to the Defence. And who is going to be the second goalie? A lot of questions it will be interesting for sure.


Taylor Hall?


There was a lot of speculation about the Leafs kicking tires on Taylor. Taylor is a dynamic power forward; he would bring a lot of hustle into the Maple Leafs' lineup. He would make a great addition to any team, including the Leafs.


The Backup Goalie


With the departure of Freddy from the nets, the Maple Leafs will be looking for a replacement. They have a lot of options, as there are a lot of goalies who are going to test the market. The one that I would like to see the Maple Leafs get is Linus Ulmark. Linus was outstanding for the Sabres last year. Without him, the Sabres might not have won a game. 


The Defence


Dougie Hamilton tops the list for sure. I do not expect the Leafs to play in the Dougie sweepstakes. Hamilton has said that he does not want to play in Canada. Even if he did, there is the thing called a cap. If I were GM (thank goodness I am not), I would like to see the Leafs get Brandon Montour. Brandon would bring some added offence, but his defensive play would be coveted.



Last but not least, the Draft is coming; who will the Leafs pick? 


Second Round

57 Logan Mailloux - Defense


Steady defensive dman keeping opponents at bay.


Fifth Round

153 Oliver Suni - Right-Wing


Power forward with some scoring toughness.


Sixth Round

185 Justin Gill - Centre


Playmaking centre.
