The Toronto Maple Leafs entered NHL free agency with over $20 million in salary cap space due to expiring contracts. However, this space has diminished as general manager Brad Treliving has focused on resigning players like John Tavares and Matthew Knies, whose deals add over $12 million to the cap. Additional trades brought in Matias Maccelli and Dakota Joshua, costing about $7 million. Currently, the team has nearly $3 million in available cap space and needs to move contracts to acquire an impactful player. Morgan Rielly's potential trade has been discussed but he declined to waive his no-movement clause.

General manager Brad Treliving has taken steps such as resigning Tavares and Matthew Knies, which combined adds over $12 million to the Leafs' cap this year.
