Rumour Emerges Suggesting Possible Trade Between Maple Leafs and Canucks
Leafs new GM Brad Treliving made a splash this offseason, signing big names like Max Domi, Tyler Bertuzzi, Ryan Reaves and John Klinberg.
However, in his press conference regarding his signings, Treliving hinted he wasn't finished.
Possible Trade with Canucks?
Reports have now arisen that the Leafs have been in contact with the Vancouver Canucks regarding a potential trade. No players were included in the discussions.
Considering the fact that Treliving commented on the Leafs' blueline, and no changes have been made, the Leafs might be open to business with the Canucks to strengthen their blueline.
Leafs Blueline
The Leafs' current blueline consists of Morgan Rielly, T.J. Brodie, Jake McCabe, Timothy Liljegren, Mark Giordano, Conor Timmins and the newly signed Klingberg.
As the report indicates the Canucks are interested in one of the Leaf's Defenceman, and the Leafs are looking to strengthen their blueline, here is a potential mock trade that could do just that:
In this potential situation, the Leafs would add significant size to their defence, something they have been in search of. For Vancouver, they would add a reliable defender in Brodie who could help lead a younger defensive core.
With the Leafs' struggles in the postseason and the new attitude in the front office, only time will tell whether or not the blueline will look the same come October.
