Maple Leafs search for defenseman as Edvinsson likely not the answer

The Toronto Maple Leafs are actively seeking a defenseman but may not target Simon Edvinsson. Reports indicate that the team requires a more defensively oriented blueliner rather than Edvinsson, who could be more suitable for a top pairing role. The Maple Leafs currently face challenges with salary cap constraints, complicating the addition of a significant contract. They are exploring options that could solve their defensive needs in a cost-effective manner. Players like Ryan Pulock and Adam Pelech have been mentioned as more fitting candidates to provide necessary depth.
