Toronto Maple Leafs Summer Time Player Movement Checklist: Who Stays + Who Goes

Player Movement Checklist

William Nylander: Shoudla traded him instead of signing him, but what's done is done and he's not going anywhere either.

John Tavares: He's underrated, and his decline is vastly oversold. Still not going to be able to trade that contract, but even if they could, they wouldn't. All four of the Core Four will be back, and that's a good thing.

Tyler Bertuzzi: The Leafs need to make changes somewhere and he's approaching 30 and will want a raise and a longer committment even though he makes too much money as it is. He will sign elsewhere.

Max Domi: He will also sign elsewhere as the Leafs realize they can't bring back the exact same team and have very few options for change. He's also crazy overrated by the fanbase and so one-dimensional that he makes it hard for a coach to dress a balanced lineup.

Nick Robertson: He'll be back in a more prominant role taking over for Domi or Bertuzzi.

Bobby Mcmann: Cheap goal-scorers don't grow on trees, so he'll be back.

Pontus Holmberg: He'll be back, but hopefully on the fourth line because the Leafs could really improve their 3C situation. I like Holmberg but he's easily one of the worst 3Cs in the NHL and if the Leafs want to contend they can improve here.

David Kampf: He'll be gone. Terrible signing, and hopefully someone will take him. It's never a good thing to have the NHL's highest paid fourth liner on your team.
