A recent mock trade has made its appearance on social media and has gained the attention of fanbases.
Star Goalie To Leafs In Mock Blockbuster
In this suggested deal by ClutchPoints, we finally see the
Toronto Maple Leafs getting the superstar goaltender that the fans have long been waiting for, as they acquire
Juuse Saros from the
Nashville Predators.
Although, it is a hefty return for the netminder, as it is listed that the Leafs send back newly extended superstar forward
William Nylander, as well as fellow goalie
Matt Murray and a 1st round draft selection.
There are mixed feelings about this mock trade among the fans of the Leafs and Preds, as both fanbases think that their team is giving up too much for the other.
In this deal however, Nashville would be getting a top notch scorer who can easily get you 40 goals in a season along with a 1st round pick to add a skilled prospect. Meanwhile, the Leafs get a Vezina Trophy candidate goalie who would most certainly help out the team tremendously.
Even though this is just another mock trade that has no connection to any real life scenario, it is still fun to think if either Brad Treliving or Barry Trotz would pull the trigger on this deal.
