Insider Luke Fox reveals price update on Maple Leafs' trade targets
The Toronto Maple Leafs are expected to be active at the NHL Trade Deadline in their pursuit of a Stanley Cup.
Today an NHL insider updated the package that the Maple Leafs might need to pay to acquire some of the top targets on the market.
NHL Insider Reveals Maple Leafs Might Be Priced Out Of Top Trade Targets
A recent report from NHL insider Luke Fox talked about the upcoming NHL trade deadline. Fox suggested that the Toronto Maple Leafs might not be as active as some people think at the deadline. Fox believes they won't be able to pay the price teams will want.
Update: The price on some of the players at the trade deadline may be too high for the Leafs to pay.
Fox also went on to mention some of the players he expects to be too expensive for the Maple Leafs to acquire by the deadline.
NHL Insider Suggests Maple Leafs Could Be Out On Several Trade Targets
In his report, Fox continued and listed several players he believes the Maple Leafs will not be able to acquire. Some of the names included are players that have often been linked to the Maple Leafs.
Each of these players could fill a much-needed role in Toronto. However, the team would need to give up much more than they are likely comfortable with. Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving has a huge decision to make about where the Maple Leafs are as a team.
If the Maple Leafs feel this is their best shot at winning a Stanley Cup they could go all in. If not the players listed above will likely end up in other lineups after the trade deadline passes.
