The Toronto Maple Leafs once again turned over a significant portion of their roster this summer.

When it comes to NHL free agency, how fast a player is snatched up really depends on many factors, including a team’s needs, their cost and potential compatibility in the lineup to name a few. In the case for some recent former Toronto Maple Leafs, they managed to quickly find new homes right on the first day of the open market.

Tyler Bertuzzi swiftly landed with the Chicago BlackHawks on a four-year deal.

TJ Brodie joined Bertuzzi in Chicago on a two-year pact. Noah Gregor was recruited by the Toronto Maple Leafs arch rivals Ottawa Senators on a one-year contract. Joel Edmundson surprisingly received a big four-year deal with the Los Angeles Kings.

But nobody could beat the fortunes of goalie Ilya Samsonov as he promptly signed on with the perennial contending Vegas Golden Knights team, even if just for one season.

However, not all former Maple Leafs players have been as lucky with NHL free agency now entering its third week.

As each day goes by, they may become more worried on whether or not they will have a place to play for the upcoming season, or if their NHL career will be coming to a close. For some of them that actually still have something left in the tank, that would be a shame for it to end that way if so.

Here, we will take a look at eight former Toronto Maple Leafs players that are unfortunately still without a job secured up for the 2024-25 NHL season.
