The Next Maple Leaf To Be Traded Has Been Revealed

With the possibility of rest days for Ryan Reaves and Mark Giordano throughout the season, the Maple Leafs are actively seeking to bolster their depth by acquiring a waiver-exempt defenseman.

This strategic move would not only provide the much-needed rest for key players but also offer the Leafs additional flexibility in their lineup.

They are looking for a defenseman who could play NHL games but are also waivers exempt so they could send them down to the AHL at any time.

While no imminent trade is in the works, experts suggest that Conor Timmins may be the most suitable player to depart from the Leafs' roster. Timmins, despite recently signing with the team, is viewed as the most expendable piece on the blue line.

This trade speculation aligns with Toronto's goal of strengthening their depth and maintaining roster flexibility. By potentially trading Timmins, the Leafs aim to maximize rest opportunities for their veteran players while positioning themselves to acquire valuable assets for the future.
