A Massive Trade Between the Toronto Maple Leafs and a Western Conference Team Might Already Be Done
When a GM is in attendance for another teams' game, it usually means something big is coming.
When two GM's attend another teams' game? It means moves are very imminent.
For tonight's game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Seattle Kraken, Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas, and Columbus Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen will be in attendance.
While it is unlikely the Leafs go after the big fish in Bo Horvat, the Blue Jackets are in desperate need for a centre.
The Leafs could be taking a good look at Andrei Kuzmenko and Nils Hoglander who are both on budget contracts, while the Blue Jackets could be looking at a cap dump as they continue their rebuild.
To get Bo Horvat the leafs will have to give up top prospect Matthew Knies + a 1st round and many even a defenseman like Rasmus Sandin.
All we know is that the Maple Leafs have not extended Kyle Dubas yet and this might be his last year.
Something is happening soon, we will just have to wait and see what it is!
