Four Players on the Trading Block as Dubas Prepares for a New Trade
With the blockbuster trade last night, Kyle Dubas acquired the offensive depth needed to push the Toronto Maple Leafs further in the post-season.
Ryan O'Reilly and Noel Accari were announced last night and Maple Leaf's fandom seems to have loved the move. But Dubas isn't done yet, as there will be more trades.
"Leafland is buzzing, as it should be. Sense is, Dubas isn't done, which emphasizes an all-in approach," said Dreger on Saturday morning. "Kerfoot? Engvall? Holl? Kampf? What collateral does Toronto use for another move?"
With O'Reilly and Acciari being added, it looks as if Alex Kerfoot, Pierre Engvall, Justin Holl, and David Kampf may be next to be on the block according to Darren Dreger of Insider Trading.
Dubas has addressed the offensive capabilities needed, with some needed depth on the wings and O'Reilly who is a post-season veteran, will add some needed leadership to the team as well. These moves suggest Kerfoot is an odd man out on a stacked team.
Will Dubas move one of these pieces to shore up the defense? I would say it's the next area that needs to be addressed.
