3 Players the Toronto Maple Leafs Should Consider for a PTO
By Tomas Morgan
Josh Leivo:
Leivo was originally drafted by the Leafs in 2011, in the third round, 86th overall.
He played part of six seasons with the Leafs before moving on to Vancouver in the 2018-19 season.
Since being traded by Toront Maple Leafs in 2018, Josh Leivo has played on four different NHL teams, including the Calgary Flames, meaning that Treliving is familiar with the Ontario native.
One of Leivo’s strengths has always been his sneaky scoring touch which provides secondary offence.
He has 93 points and 42 goals in 265 career NHL Games.
His commitment to the defensive side of the puck makes him a reliable penalty killer and a great 200-foot player.
Leivo’s determination and work ethic sets a positive example for his teammates and can be a part of the culture change that some think this team needs to win more than just a single playoff round.
Similarly to Comtois, Leivo has played up and down the lineup his whole career making him a prime candidate for a Leafs team that will need versatile players, barring any injuries.
He played last season in St. Louis and is a UFA.
