Perfect Free Agent Signing for the Maple Leafs Has Been Found
There is one intriguing player left on the free agent market that the Leafs could sign for cheap and who could pay off handsomely.
This offseason has been quite busy for Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving with him making a couple of fantastic signings. The Leafs have brought in
Tyler Bertuzzi,
Max Domi,
Ryan Reaves, and
John Klingberg all through free agency and each brings something the Leafs need.
With all of the big names being thrown around, many are forgetting the more lowkey players who could provide massive value for the Maple Leafs. One of these is
Pius Suter who many are surprised has gone unsigned thus far.
Suter would be the perfect third-line player for the Maple Leafs. He is quite solid defensively often playing on the penalty kill but can also offer some top-notch offense.
He is entering his fourth season in the NHL after electing to spend the first bit of his career in the Swiss NL. Suter previously played with Leafs superstar Auston Matthews with the ZSC Lions in 2015-16.
Since coming to the NHL, he has been a solid middle-six forward and has scored 14 goals or more in every single season.
If Brad Treliving could sign him for under $1.5 million, the Leafs have a perfect third line player who could slot into the top six if need be.
