Breaking news : List of Names Maple Leafs Still Evaluating Trade Deadline Market

 

 

As the NHL goes on a 4 Nations Face-Off break, it offers clubs like the Toronto Maple Leafs a chance to keep evaluating what appears to be a long list of names they might be eyeing ahead of the NHL trade deadline. According to NHL insider Chris Johnston, the Leafs and GM Brad Treliving are aggressive in find an option to fill a third-line center role.

Speaking on TSN’s OverDrive, Johnston noted that the Leafs haven’t finalized their trade-target wish list, as they’re still determining which teams are sellers and what assets might be available.

 

 

My sense is the Leafs don’t even have a full picture yet of what’s available at the trade deadline,” Johnston said. “I don’t think it’s a case where they have one target. Obviously, they have a list of names of players that could potentially fill, especially that third-line center role.” He added, “It seems to me they need to see who’s selling and what they’re selling…”

 

 

Toronto has been linked to several trade scenarios, but Treliving needs and wants to know he’s making the right move, if and when he pulls the trigger. Johnston added that while the Leafs have draft picks available for trade, including their 2026 first-round pick, any deal involving top prospects Easton Cowan or Fraser Minten would only be for a major upgrade
