Insider provides several important Leafs updates ahead of the free agent frenzy tomorrow
With less than 24 hours remaining now until free agency opens up, the Leafs are expected to be one of the busier teams over the next day or so, between getting their own free agents locked up to new deals and trying to fill the holes throughout their lineup.
On Friday, during the 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman addressed a number of Leafs topics, including two players who he believes are high on Toronto's list, as well as touching on the Leafs UFA situations and the Matthews/Nylander negotiations. Among the more interesting subjects was the idea that the Leafs could be headed towards a reunion with a former player.
Brown isn't the only name coming up in connection to the Leafs, as Ryan Reaves is also right there, according to Freidman.
A lot of people have been wondering where the team stands on Ryan O'Reilly and Luke Schenn. Well, according to Friedman, it's pretty well status quo right now, due to the lofty asking prices from both pending UFAs.
Lastly, arguably the two most important conversations - William Nylander and Auston Matthews. Friedman doesn't believe either deal gets done over the next week, unfortunately. He did suggest that there's no doubt that Matthews will get done. He could not say the same for Nylander.
Lots to come over the next 24-48 hours, folks. We'll continue to bring you any and all updates as soon as they become available.
