Now that the season is officially over, the off-season is in full swing with the buyout window opening, the draft over the weekend followed by free agency on Monday.
The Toronto Maple Leafs and GM Brad Treliving were hoping to get a jump on free agency by re-signing Bertuzzi and Domi to extensions and have held continuous talks with the pair. Unfortunately, they have been unable to come to terms with either player.
In their article for The Athletic today, Mirtle and Siegel provided a disappointing update regarding those extension talks.
While fans would like to see both players back with the Leafs, it is possible that neither will be back. If they are unable to bring both back, there are a number of suitable replacements that will be available.
Regardless, we will know about their futures with the club within the next week.
