Maple Leafs 'trying to do something' per top NHL insider
The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly exploring the trade market as reported on Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday night during their 7-2 win over the Penguins.
The Toronto Maple Leafs could very well choose to shake things up amidst their inconsistency they've experienced so far this year.
Even though it's been an adjustment period without Mitch Marner, who was sent to the Vegas Golden Knights in a major sign and trade deal during the summer, the Leafs have also experienced numerous injuries to important players like Auston Matthews, Anthony Stolarz and Chris Tanev.
During a segment on Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday, it was speculated that Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving is thinking about making a move.
The Leafs beat the Penguins 7-2 in Pittsburgh, their 11th win of the year and getting back to the .500 mark. But by no means are they out of the woods yet.
Sportsnet Recently Suggested Morgan Rielly Could Be Dealt To The West Coast
Sportsnet 590 The Fan analyst Sam McKee recently floated the possibility of a player like Morgan Rielly being sent to a team out west like the Anaheim Ducks or San Jose Sharks.
So San Jose would probably rock. You know, it's like, oh, I got a wife and fans - It's like, Yeah, I'm sure they'd like San Jose too. Anaheim probably would be pretty fun. Or, like, somewhere, just like, where it's warm, and the kind of out of the spotlight a little bit probably wouldn't kill them.
Rielly has spent his entire NHL career in a Maple Leafs sweater after they took him with the fifth overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft and is the longest serving member of the team.
