The reported asking price of the Toronto Maple Leafs if they were to trade forward Bobby McMann by the March 6 trade deadline has been released by NHL analyst Elliotte Friedman.
It's a strong possibility that the Toronto Maple Leafs could end up missing the postseason this year for what would be the first time in 10 years; they last missed in 2016, only weeks before they took Auston Matthews with the first overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
The Maple Leafs, who still haven't fully figured out how to adjust to life without Mitch Marner, are six points back of the divisional foe Boston Bruins for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
There have been a handful of players on the Maple Leafs roster who have been involved in trade rumours, one of them being forward Bobby McMann.
Per a new report from NHL analyst Elliotte Friedman, the preference of the Maple Leafs is to get a first round draft pick in return for McMann if he were to be traded.
Toronto is looking for a first-rounder for Bobby McMann. Big and fast, can see the possibility. One challenge for 2026: Colorado, Dallas, Edmonton, Minnesota and Vegas have already traded their first-rounders. (Carolina dealt theirs, but got another one from Dallas.) Ottawa doesn’t have one, and is unlikely to get it. That limits potential partners. Tougher, but not impossible. McMann’s a good player. - Elliotte Friedman
The trade deadline this year is March 6.
Bobby McMann Has Only Played For The Maple Leafs
McMann, who was never drafted into the NHL, signed with the Toronto Marlies, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Maple Leafs and later made his NHL debut in a Maple Leafs sweater in 2022-23.
So far this year, McMann has 32 points (19G, 13A) in 56 games. He has 91 points (54G, 37A) in 196 NHL games.
