On Friday, the Toronto Maple Leafs came to terms with their last restricted free agent, defenseman Martin Marincin, signing him to a quick, 2-year, $2.5 million deal. The Leafs acquired the defenseman from the Oilers back in June 2015 and has been sitting on the fringe for the Leafs ever since.Last season, he did dress in 65 games for the Leafs, scoring 1 goal and 7 points, but should have a better shot at some ice-time, given the state that their blueline is in, heading into the 2017 season. He has been scouted as having some offensive upside, but Edmonton didn't see it early in his career and the Leafs are waiting for it, but he is only 24 years old, so patience is key.
