The Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot to be thankful in this festive time of year, especially with these players signed for cheap and providing value.

With the holiday season coming towards its conclusion, the time of shopping for good deals is beginning to take shape. The Toronto Maple Leafs don’t have to worry about looking for such deals because they already made their purchases and those buy-lows are paying dividends.

When it comes to building a competitive team that can stay in the hunt for a championship for years, lots of money will be tied up in big-name players leading the way.

Toronto certainly has that as nearly half of their cap space is invested in their big-4 forwards.

Because of this, it is up to the general manager to fill the gaps with quality players who don’t take up too much space against the salary cap.

Since being hired by the Leafs in 2014, Kyle Dubas has demonstrated he can effectively do just that and find hidden gems.

There are countless examples of this throughout the Leafs organization, but the following four players stand out the most based on their rise and success with the big club so far. In no particular order, here are the best four Toronto Maple Leafs players signed to a bargain.
