The Toronto Maple Leafs have been up and down all season long thus far, and with many holes to fill, especially in net and on the blue line, speculation has been running rampant about a big move on the horizon for Toronto.
A blockbuster deal could mean giving up some key young pieces
Already the Maple Leafs have been linked to the likes of
Nikita Zadorov,
Chris Tanev and
Jacob Markstrom of the Calgary Flames, as well as other big names defensively, but if they want to make a deal happen, they have to sacrifice some blue-chip assets.
Now, Maple Leafs reporter Luke Fox has opened up on just who the Maple Leafs are willing to part ways with at or before the deadline, and those assets include Nick Robertson, their 2024 first-round draft pick and highly touted prospect
Fraser Minten.

Could this be the year that Toronto go all-in for a Stanley Cup?
Beyond those three, Fox mentions that the team could part ways with a sweetener to move John Klingberg and his $4.15 million salary, meaning that this team could look to give up significant assets to make them a Stanley Cup threat.
Ultimately, their forward group is one of the best in the NHL, and if they can just get above average goaltending and play at the blue line, this is a team that no one will want to face in the playoffs, so it may just be worth sacrificing some of their assets to make it happen.
