Maple Leafs Running Out of Room in the Salary Cap Squeeze

Toronto has signed so aggressively this offseason that they're down to just three remaining contract slots, a situation that reveals the delicate math GMs play when building a contender. The Maple Leafs' latest wave of signings shows they're all-in on this roster, but it also means they've got almost no flexibility for midseason adjustments or emergency depth moves. With only three spots left, any injury to a key player could force some uncomfortable roster decisions.
