3 Cheap Forwards the Toronto Maple Leafs Could Still Sign

3. Tomas Tatar

Right off the bat, I realize it’s going to be pretty damn difficult to get a player of Tomas Tatar’s caliber on the cheap side of things.

But if the player who’s played for four different franchises finds it difficult to land a new home this offseason, then a one-year deal with one of the league’s top-scoring teams could be a fit as he looks for a new deal the following season.

Tatar would add much-needed depth to the Toronto Maple Leafs left side of their forward group, a player who could move up and down the lineup and score goals.

Just this past season, Tatar posted 20 goals and 48 points on the New Jersey Devils, playing several different rolls on the second-ranked team in the Metropolitan Division.

The 32-year-old has multiple 50-point seasons on his resume and could add extra scoring in the bottom six of the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup.

The only issue would have to be the player willing to take less, similar to Tyler Bertuzzi who believes in hi ability to post career-high numbers and cash in the following year.

The Leafs need to fill out their roster, and on a cheap enough deal, any of these three players would look great in the blue and white.
