The Maple Leafs PTO board is empty with camp two weeks out. With one contract slot left and LTIR math to manage, that restraint is the right call.

The Max Domi injury leaves the Leafs forward out indefinitely after back surgery complications. LTIR would free about $3.75M against a tight salary cap.

Should the Maple Leafs trade for Mason McTavish? The 23-year-old centre fits Toronto's $104M cap and Domi-thinned depth — but Anaheim's asking price is the catch.

Max Domi's back surgery complications leave him out indefinitely, gutting the Leafs' centre depth and forcing John Chayka to chase a centre this summer.
