The Toronto Maple Leafs aren't done.
They know that to replace Mitch Marner, they'll need to bring in layers of production from outside the organization.
So a week into free agency, Toronto is seeking another forward.
NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has linked the Maple Leafs to Jack Roslovic.
Roslovic is a 28-year old center.
He's coming off a 22-goal season with the Carolina Hurricanes, which tied his career high.

He might not have major upside, but he's a consistent top-nine forward who can add an overall offensive depth to Toronto's roster.
Roslovic is certainly one of the few best forward options remaining in unrestricted free agency.
If Toronto can't pull this signing off, it may take a trade to improve the forward group.
There are possibilities out there for the Maple Leafs to acquire via trade, but it certainly makes sense to try and lock Roslovic down and then potentially supplement with a deal once they know exactly what the rest of the depth chart will look like.
