PuckPedia indicates the Leafs have $5.33 million in cap space for this season with 23 active roster players under contract. Sachdeva cited colleague Elliotte Friedman reporting that forwards Calle Jarnkrok ($2.1 million AAV) and David Kampf ($2.4 million) are candidates to be traded out of Toronto, which would free up $4.5 million in cap space.

There have been talks that the Stars are considering parting ways with Jason Robertson. While it stills seems a somewhat unlikely outcome, the Maple Leafs would do well to keep tabs on the situation. Robertson is an elite goal scorer, with 151 goals in the last four years, including 35 in 2024-25.

Jaden Schwartz has one year left with Seattle.

With few intriguing forward pieces remaining on the free agent market, many teams are turning to the RFA market and the trade market to upgrade their top-six.
