The Toronto Maple Leafs are at a crossroads as they face potential departures of key players, notably Mitch Marner and John Tavares. With over $25 million in cap space, the team's management is reportedly eyeing veteran free-agent forwards to fill any gaps. Among the names mentioned are Claude Giroux from the Ottawa Senators, who had a productive season with 50 points, and Pius Suter from the Vancouver Canucks, fresh off a career-high 46-point campaign.

Giroux, a seasoned All-Star with over 1,100 career points, is currently in talks for a potential re-signing. Meanwhile, Suter's future seems uncertain as the Canucks have rekindled contract discussions with him. The Leafs are also considering Mikael Granlund, adding further depth to their roster as they prepare for a pivotal offseason.
