Mark Masters: Toronto Maple Leafs get boost from Kyle Dubas’ moves - TSN.ca

General manager Kyle Dubas acquired forwards Riley​ Nash and Nick Foligno, defenceman Ben Hutton and goalie David Rittich over the past few days without subtracting any core players from the roster. "It speaks volumes," said alternate captain Morgan Rielly, the longest-serving Leaf."As players, we have to take that as a big responsibility...I mean, it's go time now. We got to start working and get the process down before playoffs.

"Just one of these guys that does whatever it takes to win," said coach Sheldon Keefe."Versatile, can play any position and anywhere in the lineup. Can play the game any way you want to play it. Great leadership qualities. Plays extremely hard. He just checks so many boxes of the things you need to win when it matters most."

Foligno only posted seven goals and nine assists in 42 games during a tough season in Columbus, but his new teammates point out the former Blue Jackets captain has a proven track record. Rittich went 1-2-1 against Toronto with a .941 save percentage this season. The 28-year-old pending unrestricted free agent is expected to be in Toronto by Tuesday and available to play against his old team, although no decision has been made. "I got to see where he's at," the coach noted.
