Toronto Maple Leafs Predicted to Sign 6-Foot-3 Defenseman Andrew Peeke

The Toronto Maple Leafs are predicted to sign 6-foot-3 defenseman Andrew Peeke from their heated rival Boston Bruins.

What's the latest on the Maple Leafs' offseason moves?

The Maple Leafs have been looking to bolster their blue line and entire roster this offseason, with recent trades for Emil Andrae and Darren Raddysh.

They have dealt Brandon Carlo and could still trade Morgan Rielly, so adding another defenseman is a possibility.

Who is Andrew Peeke and what can he bring to the Maple Leafs?

Andrew Peeke is a solid third-pair defenseman who recorded 5 goals and 9 assists for 14 points in 77 games with the Bruins.

He kills penalties and checks, and his size and experience could be valuable assets to the Maple Leafs.

The Maple Leafs have just over $22.2 million in cap space, which could be used to sign Peeke.

What are the Maple Leafs' expectations for the upcoming season?

The Maple Leafs had a disappointing season last year, finishing 15th in the Eastern Conference with a 32-36 record, and are currently on a L7 streak.

New GM John Chayka has made it clear that he plans to be aggressive in free agency to make the Maple Leafs a Stanley Cup contender again.

Chayka said the team will be aggressive but also make sure they are not doing anything to hurt the future.

How does Peeke's potential signing fit into the Maple Leafs' plans?

Peeke has made it clear he would like to remain with the Bruins, but the Maple Leafs' historic franchise and available cap space could entice him to sign in Toronto.

Maple Leafs analyst Justin Bourne of Sportsnet predicts Toronto will sign Peeke, citing his size and experience as key factors.

Bourne wrote that the Maple Leafs could grab another UFA D, and Peeke is a viable option.

The Maple Leafs' aggressive approach to free agency could pay off with the signing of Peeke.
