Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving has been a busy man this season and it seems like he wants to make some big free agent moves.
Brad Treliving recently signed free agent defenseman John Prokop out of Union College. The news was announced on Thursday and it was a big deal considering Prokop's standing as a puck-moving defenseman.
There are other NCAA players that the Leafs have been keeping their eyes on and there is no doubt that Treliving is ready to pounce on any opportunity.
Brad Treliving is making moves for the Toronto Maple Leafs
During the latest written version of 32 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman made it very clear that the Maple Leafs have every intention to be active from here on out.
After losing a few young prospects at the trade deadline, the Leafs are going to want to keep their team and their AHL affiliate well-stocked.
"John Prokop is a nice bet for Toronto. The Maple Leafs just traded two first-rounders and two prospects for Brandon Carlo and Scott Laughton. You need to fill your prospect pool. They aren't done with free-agent shopping, trying for a centre."
The Daily Faceoff had previously reported that Luke Haymes is someone that the Leafs would love to pursue.
He was at their most recent development camp and there are a lot of teams out there looking to acquire his services.
"A junior for the Big Green, Haymes attended development camp with the Toronto Maple Leafs last year, where he impressed observers with his scoring ability. The Ottawa native has really come out of nowhere to burst onto the scene. It's been a tough year for Haymes, missing time due to injury, but Elite Prospects says he is producing at the college level like a Top 64-drafted prospect."
Whether or not Brad Treliving pulls the trigger on Haymes still remains to be seen.
That said, his eagerness to bring in Prokop is proof that the Leafs are not going to sit idle at the end of the season.
