The Candidate to Replace TJ Brodie has been Revealed
The Toronto Maple Leafs made many significant moves in the off-season. Analysts and fans agree that there's still one area they need to improve.

"Keep an eye on #CBJ D Andrew Peeke and #LeafsForever"
Peeke scored 34 points in 195 NHL games with the Blue Jackets.
He could be one of the missing pieces in Toronto. He's a physical guy who uses his body to move the puck and break up plays before they become dangerous.
He would have a more defensive role in Toronto, which he excels in.
Replacing Brodie with Peeke would also be a smart move financially, but it would still be a downgrade from Brodie.
