However, when Treliving signed the pair, it was to only one-year deals which sets them up for this summer to possibly get pay raises or walk in free agency. It is known the Maple Leafs want to retain both players but fans have wondered why the Leafs have not signed them.
Both players are 29 and will likely want deals that bring them into their mid-30s which Brad Treliving may not be too keen on. However, we saw how well they played with the Leafs last year it may be worth it for the Leafs to have them get underpaid for the first few years and over pay them in their years of decline in the late 2020s.
