Although it sounds like the Maple Leafs intend to part ways with the other three members of the Core Four, it still seems like Captain John Tavares leaving the team the next season is the most likely scenario. With one season left on his deal, Tavares would be a good candidate to relocate in order to free up more than $11 million in salary space.
Despite all of these reports, it will be intriguing to watch what the Maple Leafs decide to do with their radius.
