Top NHL Insider Drops Bombshell Report Involving Brad Marchand & the Toronto Maple Leafs
Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand is going to be a free agent this summer, and the Toronto Maple Leafs are one of those teams that might be interested.
Brad Marchand and the Florida Panthers owned the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday night as Game 7 came to an end with a final score of 6-1.
Now, there is a lot of talk about how the Leafs messed up this series, and how their Core Four is not good enough to actually win in the postseason.
With that in mind, some sweeping changes could be coming in the offseason, and Marchand appears to be on the Leafs' radar.
Will the Toronto Maple Leafs sign Brad Marchand?
At the trade deadline, the Leafs attempted to acquire Marchand, but it didn't work out.
Now, according to Elliotte Friedman on "32 Thoughts," the Leafs may try to make another run at the veteran superstar.
Watching Brad Marchand doing his fencing with the media at the end of the game, I wonder if [the Leafs] are going to take a run at him this summer.
Following his comments after Game 7, it is clear that Marchand has some fondness for the Leafs organization. With that in mind, a signing wouldn't be that out of the ordinary.
I think if you look at the heat this team catches, it's actually really unfortunate. You know, they've been working & building something really big here for a while, and they were a different brand of hockey this year, and they're getting crucified, and I don't think it's justified.
Only time will tell what the Leafs decide to do in the offseason. If one thing is for certain, changes do have to be made.
General Manager Brad Treliving will be hard at work, and the fans are counting on him to come up with a solution that has lasting effects.
