Why Hasnt This Happened Yet

Bailey is slow, Puljuarjvi just had double hip surgery I think, and Bear isn't even healthy I don't think, More importantly, the Leafs have their own guys that they can play in those roles right now, and on defense in particular they are looking to get upgrades and Bear isn't it. Maybe next year, they would sign JP, but Bailey is probably too old and they Leafs don't need him down the middle either. Bear is probably too small for Treliving's liking. There's also the possibility that none of these guys especially JP are interested in signing in Toronto, Bailey might want to sign near home, Bear could want to sign somewhere where he would be able to push for a top 4 role, and Puljujarvi probably hated EDM by the end because of the media, pretty sure they broke him since we did say maybe he's not cut out for hockey if he can't produce with the best in the game. The media exposure in Toronto would only be worse.
