Reports of Leafs' offseason plans may frustrate fans in Toronto

Fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs may not be pleased with what could be a very quiet off-season for GM Brad Treliving.

As the Leafs and Treliving navigate the Mitch Marner situation very carefully in conjunction with Marner and his agent until a decision is made on his future, the team will also be deciding how to use their almost $20M in cap space. Depending on how the Marner situation plays out, TSN's Chris Johnston believes it could be a very quiet off-season for the Leafs.

Johnston pointed out that the amount of activity the Leafs participate in significantly depends on the outcome of the Marner situation.

At the very least, we know that Treliving will be actively attempting to bolster and upgrade the blueline. The Leafs have also already held extension talks with Max Domi and Tyler Bertuzzi and if both of them return along with two defensemen and a goaltender like Laurent Brossoit, the Leafs will be out of cap space very quickly and fans will have to wait another year before any truly significant changes are made.
