It’s finally time to start thinking about possible trades and deals for the Toronto Maple Leafs 2021-22 season.

Since the playoffs are not over, let’s take a look at some free agents that are now playing in the Stanley Cup Semifinals, and how they would fit in with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Toronto Maple Leafs currently have 11 free agents, all of whom are unrestricted, save Travis Dermott.

The 10 UFAs are Riley Nash, Alex Galchenyuk, Zach Hyman, Joe Thornton, Wayne Simmonds, Nick Foligno, Ben Hutton, Zach Bogosian, David Rittich, and Frederik Andersen.

Jason Spezza was a free agent but re-signed with the Leafs for another year, with a minimum salary of $750,000. (All salary information capfriendly.com).

With all these free agents and the uncertainty of who will or will not re-sign with the Leafs, I will discuss four players to watch in Final 4 that could be great additions.
