The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a unique position at the moment where ten of their current roster players are set to become unrestricted free agents.

The Toronto Maple leafs will surely have a different look once the dust settles on free agency.

While nothing is certain at this point, especially while playoffs are ongoing, we should be able to determine the current crop of UFAs’ chances of returning to Toronto.

Here goes.

Toronto Maple Leafs Players Unlikely To Return

Forwards

Alexander Kerfoot

For years, some fans have been calling for the Leafs to move Alexander Kerfoot. That’s mostly due to his $3.5 million cap hit.

It will be coming off the books on July 1. If the Leafs were to re-sign Kerfoot, they would be trying to do it for less. It’s clear that There is a small chance that Kerfoot returns. Kyle Dubas is clearly a fan of Kerfoot’s so if he remains the team’s general manager, the chances of Kerfoot staying in Toronto grows.

Chance of remaining on the Toronto Maple Leafs: 33%

Ryan O’Reilly

Ryan O’Reilly is the player the Toronto Maple Leafs will likely be most aggressive to re-sign. After having made a big splash in trading for him, the franchise will not want to see him walk. O’Reilly has played very well in the playoffs which is exactly why he was acquired. The Leafs will surely put forward a strong offer to The Factor.

Chance of remaining on the Toronto Maple Leafs: 85%

David Kampf

Center David Kampf has been a solid performer for Toronto. The team will continue to need bottom six forwards. As a two-way player, Kampf can be a value addition for the Leafs if he returns at a similar price point. Conversations will certainly happen between the organization and Kampf’s camp.
