Hockey Insider Elliotte Friedman Drops a Bombshell on the Maple Leafs: He Has Hinted at John Klingberg's Future Timeline with Toronto
The Toronto Maple Leafs may have won their two games in Sweden, but there are still a few issues within their lineup. The biggest of them all: their blue line.
However, a new development has emerged, suggesting that Brad Treliving is about to solve the problem.
Huge Trade Incoming For the Maple Leafs?
According to Elliotte Friedman, we will know this week what's going to happen to John Klingberg.
"Friedman on 32TP mentions we may find out about John Klingberg's future this week."
With Klingberg and his $4M contract gone, Brad Treliving would have a lot more space to make moves.
Trading Klingberg: Making Room for a Top Player?
As you know, Patrick Kane is getting ready to make a comeback. There have been many rumours about his interest in Toronto, and Treliving could make it happen.
Unfortunately, it'll be hard to do with John Klingberg in the lineup.
Even if Toronto already has a lot of offensive depth, and other teams could possibly offer more money to Kane, they have good chances of signing him.
They're a top team in the NHL, and playing with the Leafs' superstar could entice Kane.
