The Leafs' management is focused on overhauling their defense through both free agency and trades this summer, despite salary cap constraints. Should they prioritize defensemen over forwards, Bertuzzi and Domi may be directly impacted.
According to Jonas Siegel and James Mirtle of The Athletic, in a recent article, they stated:
Despite Domi, Bertuzzi, and Treliving all expressed their wishes to renew their association, both players may need to agree to reduced salaries to stay in Toronto.
With Treliving recently securing a three-year contract extension for goaltender Joseph Woll, the GM faces tighter salary cap constraints for significant offseason moves.
The destinations for Bertuzzi and Domi in the 2024-25 NHL season should become clear in the coming weeks.
