Report: Leafs expected to target veteran defenseman in free agency.
Keystone Press.

The Toronto Maple Leafs were hoping for a home run this offseason, they were hoping for Steven Stamkos, but now that it's clear that they won't be getting that they have their eyes set on a new prize.

According to comments made by TSN insider Darren Dreger during Thursday's segment of Insider Trading the Maple Leafs have expressed interest in soon to be free agent Kris Russel, currently of the Dallas Stars.

Obviously with so many teams in need of help on the blue line the Leafs won't be the only team contacting Russell, but with significant cap space and a situation that is starting to look more and more appealing, landing him is a very realistic possibility.
