EXCLUSIVE: Maple leafs have completed the deals of two defensive men.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will try to improve their defense corps during the offseason and according to reports they will be big players in the free-agent market.
Former NHL player and current analyst Nick Kypreos of the Toronto Star reported on June 13 that the Leafs will pursue two top defensemen in free agency.
Those two players would be Brandon Montour of the Florida Panthers and Chris Tanev of the Dallas Stars. Both will become unrestricted free agents on July 1.
“It’s no secret the Leafs will be targeting Florida’s Montour if the pending free agent remains unsigned after this Cup final,” Kypreos wrote. “Chris Tanev is another name that never left (Maple Leafs GM Brad) Treliving’s radar.”
