The Toronto Maple Leafs are actively looking to fill the void left by Mitch Marner's departure, and one analyst has proposed a potential target: veteran free agent Jeff Skinner. After a lackluster 29-point season with the Edmonton Oilers, Skinner, who is set to become a free agent, could be a low-risk option for Toronto. Despite not having a stellar year, his experience and capability to fit into a middle-six role could appeal to the Leafs' management. With $4.9 million in cap space, the Leafs are in a strong position to pursue him.

Skinner's track record includes 373 goals over 1,078 NHL games, and while his postseason experience is limited to just five games, his veteran presence might prove valuable. The Leafs' current roster could benefit from a player like Skinner, who can contribute across various situations, particularly with their power play. As the offseason unfolds, Toronto may find that Skinner's skill set aligns with their immediate needs for the upcoming season.
