The Toronto Maple Leafs are technically over the salary cap right now, but they can’t be finishing signing UFA’s, right?

The current Toronto Maple Leafs roster does not feel like its complete and ready to enter the season. They still have a fantastic core led by Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, but it doesn’t feel like they have enough depth to win a championship, because they haven’t done anything to improve their team this summer.

Roughly one week into free agency, the Leafs haven’t made any exciting transactions, but they have added depth NHL players. Nicolas Aubé-Kubel, Calle Jarnkrok, Jordie Benn and Ilya Samsonov will all more than likely be in the team’s opening night roster, but these aren’t players that fans are going nuts for.

Although Samsonov could be the starter for the Leafs by the end of the year and Jarnkrok could end up scoring 20 goals, it’s nothing to be excited about.

Toronto is $1.4M over the salary cap right now and they still need to sign Rasmus Sandin and hopefully need to upgrade their left-wing position. As a result, a trade is more than likely looming so that the team can either sign a UFA or trade for a RFA.

Here are three UFA’s that the Toronto Maple Leafs should still sign:
