Deadline Drama: Which Seven NHL Teams Are Racing Against Time to Shake Up Their Rosters?
The Leafs should be especially motivated to sell because they need to restock the cupboards after years of trading away picks and prospects. Bobby McMann, a pending UFA on pace for 28 goals, should have similar trade value to Kiefer Sherwood, who fetched the Canucks two second-round picks. Scott Laughton is also on an expiring contract and should have decent trade value.
On the blue line, Toronto should be listening to offers on Brandon Carlo and/or Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Carlo only has one year beyond this season, and while the Leafs won’t be able to recoup all of what they surrendered for him, he should still be a valuable commodity. Ekman-Larsson, meanwhile, could present an interesting opportunity to sell high on a player who turns 35 this summer.
