Corey Perry

Aside from (most likely) unintentionally taking out Tavares this postseason, Perry has put up 9 points in 17 Montreal playoff games and would give the Toronto Maple Leafs a little more bottom-six toughness and experience. And he’s still putting up strong possession numbers. A Spezza-esque deal would be great.

Alex Chiasson

6’3, 208lb and only a few years removed from a 22-goal season. He’s 31 and made 2.15 million last year. He could potentially be a good, cheap signing that has the possibility to anchor the 3rd line. A good Hyman replacement, perhaps, if a few other FA’s become priced out of Toronto’s range.

Joel Armia

Another strong bottom-six player with size and a bit of a scoring touch, Armia is 29 and could also help the Toronto Maple Leafs 3rd line. He has hit double-digits in goals four times and stands 6’4, 210lb., so he brings a little more size to the bottom-six. An increase on his 2.6 million cap hit would probably take Toronto out of the running; however.

Joshua Ho-Sang

Ho-Sang was an Islanders first-round pick back in 2014 but he hasn’t had any extended playing time in the NHL and only last had a sniff of the big leagues in the 2018-2019 season. A UFA at only 25 years old, Ho-Sang might be an interesting low-risk, high-reward signing.
