from Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun,

“We’ll be active, but we might have a different set of targets than other teams,” Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said as the NHL draft wrapped up Saturday, “But I don’t know if we’ll be the headline stealers.”

Shanahan then caught himself.

“We’re Toronto, so somehow there’ll be headlines,” he said with a laugh. “So let me re-phrase that, I don’t think we’ll shake the hockey world.”

Names and salaries that might have enticed interest in the pre-cap era have little allure in 2015. Martin St. Louis and Sergei Gonchar are long in the tooth. If looking at players under 30, the list includes defenceman Mike Green, Toronto-born right winger Chris Stewart, left winger Michael Frolik, centre Derek Stepan, defenceman Andrej Meszaros and a couple of goalies, including Michal Neuvirth. Green would be taken quickly, though he’d need to be part of a dynamic team as he was with the Washington Capitals.

If you look deep enough, there’s even a few former Leafs who could be looking for homes this summer, led by Nashville’s Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli — both let go in trade deadline deals four months ago. And at the end of the season, 36-year-old Eric Brewer was dropping hints that he wanted to return full-time after playing out the schedule in T.O.

But that was Nonis, this is now. In the absence of a full-time general manager, Shanahan has his own visions and his unorthodox quartet making the personnel decisions now features himself, Mark Hunter, Kyle Dubas and Brandon Pridham. Two recent junior hockey execs, a capologist and his own acumen from years on the ice and as a league exec.
