Summary
Toronto Maple Leafs let go of two young draft picks, defenseman Mayes and forward Hlacar, as their rights expired — but aren’t done with them yet. Both could still sign with the Marlies in the AHL, keeping them in the system without a big NHL commitment. It’s a smart move to develop talent and salvage draft picks without losing them entirely — though whether they ever crack the NHL roster remains to be seen.
