Anton Stralman

Current Team: Arizona Coyotes
Age: 35
2021-22 Stats: 74 Games, 8 Goals, 23 Points
Current Salary: $5.5 million

It’s been 14 seasons since we’ve seen Anton Stralman in a Toronto Maple Leafs uniform, and he’s built quite a career since then.

Stralman is definitely not worth $5.5 million anymore, and where he lands will depend a lot on his determined price tag.

He’s a right-handed defenseman which seems to always be a wanted commodity, but with the number of defenseman currently on Toronto’s roster, it’s unlikely that they would add Stralman.

The Toronto Maple Leafs would probably stick with T.J. Brodie, Justin Holl and Timothy Liljegren on the right side and may even re-sign Ilya Lyubushkin before considering Stralman.  Rasmus Sandin may see time on the right side too.

If one of those pieces is moved though, perhaps we could see Anton Stralman return to Toronto if the price is right.  There may be better options available though.
