That's a lot of expiring contracts the leafs have to deal with. You could argue that they are ready to move on from Brodie, Muzzin, and Gio. Meanwhile, Bertuzzi, Klingberg and Domi were 1 year rentals. However, the leafs are going to lose quite a few players for nothing after this season.
Six to one I was more thinking players that you better sign or trade this summer or they’re likely leaving as UFA next year.

I think Nylander is the only one in Toronto that’s a similar situation. Giordano probably retires. Brodie is a lock to stay in the area due to his wife’s health and their family there. Klingberg, Domi, and Bertuzzi they just brought in so different conversation timelines for those guys. Matthews is not going anywhere, it’s just a matter of how much. Hard to say whether they want to keep Lafferty or not.
