4 Players From Cup Final That Toronto Maple Leafs Should Sign

The Stanley Cup Finals produced a ton of free agents that could help the Toronto Maple Leafs next year.

It’s pretty safe to say that the best team won the Stanley Cup this season, which is why the Toronto Maple Leafs were watching from home. Although this team is a good team, they lacked a few qualities that stopped them from even winning a playoff round.

Their goaltender was good, but Jack Campbell was no match for Andrei Vasilevskiy. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay’s depth produced when they needed them the most, which seemed to be the difference-maker.

If the Leafs were in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Colorado Avalanche, would a different result have happened?

Yes.

The Toronto Maple Leafs would have lost in four or five games and the fact that the Lightning stretched it out for six and almost seven was an impressive feat. The Avalanche’s top three forwards are just as good as Toronto’s, yet they have Cale Makar and many other depth pieces that would’ve destroyed them.

The one problem that Colorado was potentially going to face was a goaltending scare, but Darcy Kuemper shined, especially in the deciding game where he only allowed one goal.

Both team’s are going to look different next year, but with their core’s still in-tact, we may be looking at another Lightning/Avalanche final next year, but we’ll have to wait and see.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have different plans than that, as there are four potential UFA’s they’ll look to target from the Stanley Cup Finals.
