Intriguing Trade Proposal Sends Star Defenseman to Toronto

One team they have been linked too in trade talks for a number of weeks now is the Calgary Flames, with this intriguing trade proposal likely to give both teams a big win on the trade market.

The blue line issues in Toronto stem from several things; lack of depth, lack of leadership and a pure lack of toughness, and thankfully for the Maple Leafs, this trade would see all three of those things fixed.

Looking at the numbers, Tanev has just one goal and 8 points in 40 games played this season, but he brings so much more to the table with his physical style sacrificing his body for his teammates, and being an Ontario kid, all the pieces come together for a big trade.

Sure, they will still need to find a consistent force in net and will need depth scoring and potentially another blue line addition, but Robertson just can't seem to find his spot in the lineup, and with just one third-round pick given up, this would be a huge pickup for Toronto.
