If we are being honest, Toronto probably didn't even want any of the free agents signed to date at the prices they fetched. Well, most of them. Sure there are a few 1 year deals Toronto would certainly have liked to do but most of the big names have been quite expensive. Remember, guys like Walker and Teoscar had the QO penalty attached so they cost more than the dollar figure.
The idea that free agents are "not picking Toronto" is speculation.
