Who is the Toronto Maple Leafs player most likely to get traded?
As the trade deadline slowly approaches, the Toronto Maple Leafs find themselves smack-dab in the middle of the fervor once again.
How could they not be?
Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen Josh Leivo demand a trade (though he did clarify that he just wants to play, and who can blame him?), Matt Martin‘s name featured prominently in Elliotte Friedman’s 31 Thoughts, and Nikita Soshnikov return with one foot already out the door.
If things continue to move along their current path, February 26th could be a busy day in Leaf Land. And why shouldn’t it? At the very least, the Leafs have a reasonable chance to do some damage in the playoffs. They’ve also got too many NHL players for too few spots, which is bound to eventually lead to a lot of trades.
With that said, fans could very likely be faced with the reality of bidding farewell to a number of franchise stalwarts.
This week, the EIL staff put their heads together to answer the question:
Which member of the Toronto Maple Leafs organization is most likely to gone after the trade deadline?
Let’s see what they said.
