Toronto Maple Leafs Get Incredible News Concerning Brad Marchand

Brad Marchand is having himself one of the best playoff campaigns of his entire career. Overall, he continues to score big goals, and the Edmonton Oilers have been facing his wrath.

The forward is just one game away from winning his second Stanley Cup, and there is no doubt that he will be motivated to put the Oilers away at home on Tuesday.

However, once the season is over, Marchand will have a very tough decision to make. He will become a free agent on July 1st, and there is no guarantee he returns to Florida.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been very interested in Marchand, although they will be one of many teams looking to make a move. Needless to say, it's not going to be an easy task to acquire him.

However, according to Chris Johnston of TSN, it would appear as though the Leafs are actually a frontrunner to acquire Marchand. They want to make it happen, and Marchand would not be opposed.

This would be a huge development for the Leafs, but it is going to cost them a lot of money. According to reports, Marchand could command $8 million per season in a four-year deal.

That would be a bit rich for the Leafs, but at this stage, a lot of these contracts are inflated due to hype from the Stanley Cup Finals. They don't necessarily reflect reality.

Only time will tell whether or not Marchand actually chooses the Toronto Maple Leafs over everyone else.

If one thing is for certain right now, it is that the Panthers and Marchand are much more focused on winning the championship this season.
