Suprising Teams Not On the List of Teams in Attendance
Two surprising teams were not mentioned on the list of representatives, the Calgary Flames and San Jose Sharks, two teams that the Leafs have been rumoured to have interest in defensemen from. Chris Tanev from the Calgary Flames and Mario Ferraro from the San Jose Sharks.
Clearly, Brad Treliving is weighing all of his options for a defenseman. The Leafs need for one is slowly dissipating though, as they return some of their key defensemen from injury.
