Is there a concern that his brother is going to test free agency? Considering the lack of forward depth and their cap situation, it seems like a pretty solid fit if he's looking to make an immediate NHL impact.

From everything Bowman has said, there doesn't appear to be any concern of him bolting. At the deadline press conference he said he expected him to play this year. Doubt he would say that if he wasn't confident.

Yes, because he would be stupid not to sign with the leafs.

Honestly, you'd have to be an idiot to not sign with the team that drafted you. Kevin Hayes, for example, probably cost himself over $3 million just so that he could be in New York.

He made more by not being bounced up and down between the AHL

What cap situation? And their forward depth is fine. It's their D and shit goaltending this season that cost them.

Wake me up when Dylan Sikura signs because of this, otherwise this news has zero importance for the club.
