We finally know what the Maple Leafs need to pay for Timo Meier
The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to push past the 1st round this season, and break the archaic trend of early playoff losses. It looks like Kyle Dubas may need to sell at the trade deadline to pick up offensive talent to help move them forward.
One of these we know the Maple Leafs have been targeting is Timo Meier and the price may be steep for Dubas.
The Leafs best asset is going to be hard to hold onto if they want to get back an elite player.
Grier is also likely hoping for a B level prospect. There are a number of players who may fit that mold. Fraser Minten and Ty Voit would absolutely be on the Sharks Radar.
The cost for Meier will be high, as the New York Rangers had already kicked tires on the 51-point forward. Grier's in the midst of a rebuild so he will be looking to acquire the best assets available and Matthew Knies is the holy grail of many GMs this season.
With Dubas needing to push the Maple Leafs into Round 2 and beyond territory, he may have to break the bank to stay relevant in the post-season. With chatter earlier this season that this may be his last run in Toronto, it's not unreasonable to think he will make a major move.
However, according to his media availability, Knies won't be made available so for now we're chalking it up to speculation.
