Reporter Reveals the Truth Regarding the Maple Leafs and Dillon Dube

With the annual Leafs and Legends Charity Golf Classic officially in the books, the players' attention will now turn to the start of training camp on Wednesday, where the real work begins.

The popular belief among pundits coming into this week was that the Leafs may still be looking to add to their roster.

A recent report from Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman suggested that the Leafs were still looking at potentially bringing in top remaining UFA Jack Roslovic. However, it was another suggestion from Friedman on Monday that really seemed to have rocked the boat.

During his most recent edition of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast, Friedman suggested that he could see the Leafs could take a run at signing controversial forward Dillon Dube, who looks to return to the NHL.

Now, however, an official report from Leafs reporter Nick Alberga has indicated that the team will not pursue a deal for Dube.

The Leafs are rather loaded up front at the moment, with the likes of Nick Robertson, David Kampf, Michael Pezzetta, Calle Jarnkrok, and Easton Cowan trying to earn a roster spot in training camp. The addition of yet another body up front would have further complicated matters.

With the noise surrounding Mitch Marner and his departure from Toronto, perhaps it's not the right time to add such a controversial figure into the picture. Maybe that's something that the Leafs considered when they opted not to reach out to Dube.
