If the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs have under two-million in cap space currently isn’t scary enough for a team that just finished 29th in the league this past season, perhaps the fact that it only gets worse from here once the team actually truly hopes to be competitive should scare off some of you.

What I mean when I say it only gets worse is that the Leafs are gonna be entering a bit of a logjam at the end of the 2011-2012 season.  At this point in time the Maple Leafs will be forced to deal with inking new contracts for old players, being forced to resign the likes of potentially key free agents Kris Versteeg, Nikolai Kulemin, Jonas Gustavsson, Francois Beauchemin, Keith Aulie, Korbinian Holzer, Jussia Rynnas and Marcel Mueller among others.
