Can Henrique Save The Day?
Adam Henrique is still currently a free agent. The 33-year-old has spent the last six seasons with the Anaheim Ducks. Before that he was a crucial player for the New Jersey Devils.
The hallmark of Henrique's game is his solid two way game. Henrique would bring stability to the Leafs lineup both offensively and defensively.
He also would add another veteran player in the locker room with plenty of playoff experience.
The best part of a Henrique addition is he would be a cheap option. With Henrique still being available he will likely sign near the league minimum. This would allow for the Leafs to continue looking for upgrades in other areas as well.
