Incredibly, we are only 22 days away from the NHL Draft and 25 days from the start of free agency.

We started Tuesday’s edition of Leafs Morning TakE, speaking of the Stanley Cup Final. The rest vs. rust debate is always interesting, but at this point, I’m starting to wonder if the 10 days off ruined everything the Florida Panthers were doing. Heading into Sunrise for Game 3 Thursday night, Vegas is halfway home and, quite frankly, hasn’t been the series through two games. Leaves in 9.
Meanwhile, there is no doubt that 30 other NHL teams are already working hard trying to improve their rosters. With that in mind, we checked out this list of suspended and handicapped unrestricted free agents in Toronto to try and keep.
Indisputably, it would be great to see Luke Chien again next season with the blue and white. In his second tour of duty, the 33-year-old was a standout in Toronto, especially when it mattered most in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The two-time Cup champion appeared in his third appearance on the Leafs Morning Take. Although he didn’t tip his hand one way or the other, he doubled down on how eager he was to return and open to re-signing in Toronto.
Finally, for Betano Rap Upwe put our trust in Kevin Gausman and the Blue Jays to bounce back after the Astros blasted Alek Manoah Monday night.
