Due to salary cap constraints the Toronto Maple Leafs are forced to make a trade
Because of salary cap limitations, the Toronto Maple Leafs will soon need to trade former Minnesota Wild forward Connor Dewar.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a significant move in the free agency and summer trade market. They began by acquiring the rights to Chris Tanev from the Dallas Stars later pulling out a 6-year contract with the veteran defenseman.
"The Toronto Maple Leafs announce they've signed Chris Tanev for six years at a $4.5M AAV!"
However, after acquiring more solid players, they have also accrued higher costs. The Toronto Maple Leafs are currently $1.5 million over their salary cap, leaving RFA and former Minnesota Wild forward Connor Dewar unsigned. GM Brad Treliving will have to look at releasing a player to open up his spot, with many pointing to Calle Jarnkrok, David Kampf, and Ryan Reaves.
"#LeafsForever are currently $1.5m over the salary cap while still needing to re-sign RFA Connor Dewar.
GM Brad Treliving could consider trading players like Calle Jarnkrok, David Kampf, or Ryan Reaves in order to free up cap space to keep Dewar."

Each of the three potential trades involves players commanding seven-figure salaries and are also unrestricted free agents. As long as one of these players moves elsewhere, re-signing Connor Dewar should proceed smoothly.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have shown their determination to bring home a Stanley Cup soon. Hopefully, they can resolve their current salary cap issues to ensure their efforts pay off.
