Boone Jenner - Columbus Blue Jackets

One of the most realistic players that I could see the Maple Leafs acquiring and the one I've wanted the team to go after for a couple years now is Columbus Blue Jacket captain Boone Jenner.

Another former Oshawa General played alongside Laughton for four seasons. Jenner has two-years left on a reasonable $3.75M cap hit and scored 20+ goal in three consecutive seasons.

The downside is he likely could have scored 30 had he stayed healthy as he has missed 61 games over those three years.

Jean-Garbriel Pageau - New York Islanders

Like so many players in the past, Jean-Gabriel Pageau had a career year during his contract season in 2019-20 when he scored 26-goals that helped him earn a six-year contract worth $5 Million per season.

Pageau now has just two seasons left and the contract may be a little tough to swallow for a guy that has averaged 12-goals per season over the last two years.

If Treliving could get the Islanders to retain a good chunk of the salary, the nearly 200 hits he threw last year and his top end face-off skills could be a welcomed addition.
