Toronto Maple Leafs free agent rumours.

Sure, why not? He’s a classic third pair guy, and he’s better at shot suppression than Roman Polak. He’s maybe a touch less good at offence than Matt Hunwick, who is thought to be going to Vancouver. If the Leafs want a veteran D, he’s fine as long as you don’t confuse him for a top pairing guy. You can see by his chart that Carolina overplayed him in ice time a bit.

Not necessarily Vancouver for Matt Hunwick:

> Michigan native Matt Hunwick has narrowed options down to two teams. Maple Leafs out at this point.

An unexpected rumour of a different sort:

> It won't likely happen today, but [#Leafs](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Leafs?src=hash&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will be signing F Dominic Toninato, 2012 pick + 4-yr college grad on clock for UFA status in Aug.

> Patrick Marleau is down to about four teams. It sounds like the [#leafs](https://twitter.com/hashtag/leafs?src=hash&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) remain in the mix.

**90 minutes into free agency:**

> I believe it's fair to say TOR made a major push to get both Marleau and Thornton. May still be in on Marleau.
