Welcome to an exciting new episode of the Rink Rat Report podcast! In this episode, we are joined by special guest Kevin Papetti as we dive into an in-depth off-season plan for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2023.

Additionally, we delve into the options the Leafs have with Matt Murray, including a potential trade or a potential buyout scenario. Moving on to the defensemen, we analyze the current defensive lineup and discuss the possibility of a trade.

We also explore the pending unrestricted free agents (UFAs) on defense, including the prospects of re-signing players like Erik Gustafsson, Justin Holl, or Luke Schenn, and speculate on their contract negotiations. Furthermore, we delve into the potential trade targets and free-agent signings that could fit the Leafs' defensive needs. Next, we shift our focus to the forward group. Looking past the major priority of extending William Nylander and Auston Matthews, we discuss the potential NHL readiness of prospect Knies and evaluate the role and positioning of John Tavares within the lineup. Additionally, we examine the expectations for Nic Robertson and analyze the UFAs on the roster, including Noel Acciari, Ryan O'Reilly, Zach Aston-Reese, Michael Bunting, David Kampf, and Alex Kerfoot. We offer insights into their potential re-signings and the contract ranges involved.
