NHL Trade Frenzy: Leafs Eye McKenna, Senators Chase DeBusk, Red Wings Target Pettersson – What’s Next?
The buzz around the NHL combine wasn’t just the usual chatter — word on the street is that the Toronto Maple Leafs may have a crystal-clear plan for their No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft. According to Shawn Hutcheon, insiders whisper that during their interview with Gavin McKenna, the Leafs hinted pretty strongly at making him their top overall selection. This kind of decisiveness is rare and tells you a lot about where the Leafs see their future heading.
Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators aren’t sitting still. Reports from Bruce Garrioch reveal that they’re eyeing Vancouver Canucks winger Jake DeBrusk, a 29-year-old with a hefty cap hit but proven goal-scoring chops. DeBrusk hasn’t exactly been thrilled about rebuilding projects, and with his no-movement clause, any trade will be a delicate dance. Still, his attitude toward where he might land next offseason could shape the trade chatter quite a bit.
