Maple Leafs Linked To Two New Defensemen
Today NHL insider Darren Dreger spoke about two defensemen that could be available via trade. Dreger believes that the Maple Leafs are in talks with the Philadelphia Flyers in connection with two options.
This report follows the weeks of reports that the Maple Leafs were looking to trade for two defensemen from the Calgary Flames. With Nikita Zadorov in Vancouver now the Maple Leafs might have moved on to their next option. This trade could come at a hefty price for the Maple Leafs.
Insider Reveals The Price For The Maple Leafs To Acquire A Defenseman
With the Maple Leafs connected to these new options on defense, Dreger also dove into what the price could be. If the Maple Leafs want one of these defensemen or another top option they will need to be ready to part with a top prospect.
The Maple Leafs are now down several defensemen and their top goaltending option. If they are going to stay in the race for a top team in the East they need to make a move. However, if all of these injuries are long term it might be too late to patch one hole at a time.
It will be interesting to see how Brad Treliving digs the Maple Leafs out of the hole that injuries have now created for the team.
