The Toronto Maple Leafs have been encouraged to consider a reunion with veteran defenseman John Klingberg as they continue looking for an experienced blue-liner ahead of the 2026-27 season. The suggestion came as the Maple Leafs are continuing with their roster change, and Klingberg is still available in free agency after spending the previous season with the Edmonton Oilers and the San Jose Sharks in 2025, as per the NHL.
