Report: Maple Leafs Eyeing a New Player for Potential Trade
In a new report, the Toronto Maple Leafs are eyeing this player for a potential trade that could help bolster their roster for the remainder of the season.
Leafs Looking to Add Unexpected Blue Liner in Potential Trade
It's well-known around the League that the Toronto Maple Leafs are in the market for a defenseman, as they have been riddled with injuries on the blueline this year. While many reports have the Leafs showing significant interest in Chris Tanev of the Calgary Flames, a new report has surfaced that has the Leafs showing interest in San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro.
David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period has confirmed that the Leafs have a legitimate interest in Ferraro.
Ferraro Is What the Leafs Need Contract Wise
Ferraro is exactly what the Leafs need on the blueline. While he isn't much of a goal scorer, Ferraro plays heavy minutes for the struggling San Jose Sharks, being on their top pairing. He could help the Leafs out as a stay-at-home defenseman who can take some time on the Penalty Kill when required.

Best of all, Ferraro is on a friendly contract of just $3.25 million per season, all the way until 2026. This would help the Leafs out as they are strapped for cap space and have some upcoming contract negotiations to sort out.
