The Toronto Maple Leafs are struggling, shifting from playoff contention to draft lottery considerations. Defenseman Troy Stecher, a pending UFA acquired from Edmonton, aims to re-sign with Toronto, having performed well with an average of nearly 20 minutes per game and a chance to increase his salary. In other news, Florida’s Anton Lundell and Mackie Samoskevich are day-to-day with injuries, while Canadiens prospect David Reinbacher, a 2023 fifth overall pick, has signed with Quartexx Hockey but has two years left on his entry-level contract.
