Elliotte Friedman's Major Truth Bomb About Free Agency Could Impact the Maple Leafs

When it comes to free agency, Elliotte Friedman has had the inside track on what's happening around the league. However, every single day, there are so many developments that it is hard to keep track.

Overall, the Toronto Maple Leafs have been at the center of numerous free agency reports. Most of them involve Mitch Marner. Although John Tavares and Matthew Knies have gotten their fair share of rumors.

With free agency about two weeks away, fans want some clarity on what is about to transpire. Unfortunately, that clarity won't be coming anytime soon.

On the '32 Thoughts' Podcast, Elliotte Friedman admitted that the NHL rumor mill has simply become too much to handle over the last few weeks.

There have been numerous contradictions, and no one can get clarity on anything. It feels like everyone is talking over each other, and there is no real sense of what is about to take place.

For the Toronto Maple Leafs, this is a very unique situation. Very clearly, the offseason is going to be unpredictable, and fans are going to have to be patient.

General manager Brad Treliving is being tasked with making some pretty massive moves, and we do not envy the position he has been put in.

Elliotte Friedman is also dealing with a lot right now, and we're sure his summer is going to be a hectic one.

All of this, and the Stanley Cup still hasn't been awarded. That could change on Tuesday as the Florida Panthers are up 3-2 on the Edmonton Oilers.
