NHL Trade Rumors have been going around for a month or so that the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to add a top 6 forward to the team at the NHL trade deadline.
GM Kyle Dubas would like a trade sooner rather than later, specially if the trade is with an American team and the player would require a two week quarantine period.
Pierre LeBrun was on TSN’s inder trading and stated, “As for the Leafs, whether it’s a rental like Kyle Palmieri or Nick Foligno or Mikael Granlund or it’s a hockey deal for a Filip Forsberg or Rickard Rakell, which is a lot harder to do, I think all options are on the table for Kyle Dubas.”
With the Maple Leafs tight against the salary cap, they will likely have to move out some salary to make a trade. A rental player probably makes the most sense given the flat cap moving forward but Dubas didn’t close the door on a hockey deal if it made sense.
