Signed to a 5-6 year deal for $5-7 million because Treliving absolutely has to have the player.

You hit the nail on the head. Any hype around a guy and Treliving is on it. We should do a competition of who is the most popular ufa. I’d probably put money that Treliving is chasing the guy. Barbashev has got more attention then he would normally but I don’t think he’s hyped up enough. Nobody stands out this year though so we’ll see. With so many defence free agents on the Leafs though, I really think they’ll have to go hard for a series stealer like Soros. Then find defensive pieces after. It’s the Leafs best chance. I do think given their needs Nylander will have to go.
