OK, Toronto is (reportedly) interested in:
R. Smith
Drury
Gomez
Kariya
... they have about $5M in salary cap left. Of course, without freeloaders like McCabe and bloody Kubina, that could be $15M. Although I'm still not giving up on McCabe yet. I'm hoping he just had an off year last season and will get back to all star form come Sept/Oct.
So which one of the players above would YOU like to see wearing the Blue & White ? Remember, Sundin's only on a one year contract, so they will be looking for a new captain no doubt - although they do have players currently on the roster who could fill the C role. WEll, maybe Tucker or Peca.
Almost forgot - the 'TSN FREE AGENT FRENZY' show is on at Sunday, 11AM.
Something pointed out on TSN just now - the Leafs have almost HALF their payroll (over $24M) taken up by 2 goalies and 4 defencemen. Kubina and McCabe alone are going to take up $12M this year (almost a quarter of the new cap)
NOTABLE SIGNINGS (THIS LIST BEING UPDATE THROUGHOUT THE DAY - KEEP CHECKING BACK!):
- Forward Bates Battaglia has signed a two-year deal with Toronto worth $650,000 per season.
- The Pittsburgh Penguins signed defenceman Darryl Sydor to a two-year, $5 million contract.
- The St. Louis Blues sign winger Paul Kariya to a three-year, $18 million contract.
- The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed winger Jason Blake to a five-year deal worth $20 million.

- Briere to Philadelphia - 8yrs, $52M - $10M for the 1st year (anything bad for Buffalo is GOOD for Toronto!) More here (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=212425&hubname=)
