So I got to thinking last year Zaitsev got a 7 year deal worth 4.2 million per year and at the time we thought he was going to be a long term piece, now I am not sure that he is.
Since he signed that contract the Leafs have built up quite the stable of young D men lets take a look.
Liljergen who looks really good, he's young but I don't think it's a matter of if, but when he makes it.
Andreas Borgman who has looked good all year and he's only 22 so he's only going to grow.
Travis Dermott- it is a limited role but so far he does look like he has top 4 upside although granted it is only 5 games but he does look like he COULD be top 4
Calle Rosen another guy maybe pushing for a job next year.
That is 4 guys that look like they have a future as NHL D men I can't help but wonder if Zaitsev might be pushed out at some point in the not too distant future
