Max Pacioretty, 36, just completed his one-year contract with the Leafs following the elimination of Toronto in the second round of the playoffs at the hands of the Florida Panthers. Speaking at the team’s end-of-season media availability, Pacioretty admitted the year was difficult for him, largely due to being away from his family.

According to multiple reports, the Toronto Maple Leafs‘ personnel are drawing interest from around the NHL. Over the past few weeks, there had been speculation that team president Brendan Shanahan was on the New York Islanders’ radar.

Once again, the Toronto Maple Leafs fell short in the playoffs, sending the organization into a crucial summer. Toronto has multiple key players entering free agency, and the roster could look very different next season.
