RUMOR: Maple Leafs Close To Acquiring Massive Defenseman From Calgary
The Toronto Maple Leafs are off to a solid start in 2023-24, but if they want to be considered as an elite team in the NHL, they clearly need to make some changes on the blue line and in net.
Nikita Zadorov to be a Maple Leaf soon?
After a solid run in Calgary, the 28-year old has officially requested a trade from the Flames, with the Maple Leafs being the first team linked to the 6-foot-6, 248 pound defenseman.

Now, the trade rumours are circulating, and one outlet has reported that a very intriguing deal has been offered to the Flames by former General Manager Brad Treliving.
#LeafsForever close to acquiring Zadorov for Klingberg and Minten.
A massive boost to the Maple Leafs blue line
While it's yet to be reported by any of the league's top insiders, this would seemingly be a solid deal for both parties, as it would help Toronto get away from Klingberg's $4.15 million cap hit, while landing an impactful defenseman on both ends of the ice.
Giving up Minten is something that Leafs fans certainly wouldn't be 100% in favour of, but getting rid of Klingberg and landing someone that will immediately impact their top-four would be a good move, so keep an eye on Calgary and Toronto over the next few days and weeks.
