Leafs GM addresses the P.K. Subban to Toronto rumours
An interesting rumour had surfaced recently, linking the Toronto Maple Leafs to hometown boy P.K. Subban, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the conclusion of the 2021-22 season.
While the move may have checked some boxes for Toronto, (right-shot defenseman who plays with intensity, wins puck battles and has a booming point shot), the matter of Subban's $9M cap hit would have been tough for Toronto to fit in, even with some salary retention.
On Thursday, Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas took some time to, in a round-about way, address the Subban to Toronto rumour during an appearance on The Bob McCown Podcast.
"I could definitively say that we have not thought a single thing about any player that's going to be a free agent a year from now," Dubas said on the podcast.
Of course, we have a long season ahead of us, and if Dubas and company can find away to accrue some cap space over the course of the season, perhaps a deal for Subban makes more sense at the deadline. For now, however, this appears to be just another offseason rumour.
