No urgency to speak with Auston Matthews yet, still assessing their training

There are no talks yet for Michael Bunting with the Toronto Maple Leafs
David Alter from The Hockey NewsNewly named Toronto Maple Leafs Brad Treleving has had a sizable to-do list since taking over from Kyle Dubas. So far, one thing he hasn’t gotten is talking to the suspended UFA Michael Bunting according to his agent Paul Capizano.
“I haven’t heard from Brad Treliving or had any discussions regarding Michael Bunting until today,” he said.
Ponting said that at end-of-season meetings there were no contract talks during the season.
Meeting Auston Matthews is a top priority for Treleving, with Sheldon Keefe being another. Shen Duan has just been appointed as an assistant to General Motors. Treliving has spoken with UFA commentator Luke Schenn.
The Maple Leafs have just over $9 million in projected salary cap space with 15 players under contract. If Jake Muzzin gets LTIR, they get an additional $5.625 million. Can they find anyone willing to put up with $4.875 million from Matt Murray?
Bunting may have pulled himself out of Toronto, especially if he used Andrea Athanansiou’s two-year, $8.5 million extension.
