Not Safe in any Trade Offer

#18. Mikko Lehtonen

#17. Travis Dermott

Similar to the last category, if the Toronto Maple Leafs ended up trading any of these players, it wouldn’t spark a riot on Bay Street. All six of players are a perfect piece in a bigger trade.

When the Leafs acquired Jake Muzzin, they had to get rid of Carl Grundstrom and Sean Durzi. Those are the type of players that fall in the “Not Safe in any Trade Offer” category, as the Leafs would happily package any of these players up if it meant acquiring a top-four defenseman.

The biggest question-mark within this category is Lehtonen, because we’ve yet to see him play. It’s possible that he turns into a top-four defenseman himself and plays his way into a bigger contract next year, but at this time, he could be an asset in a trade.

Prospects Nick Abruze and Semyon Der-Arguchintsev are two players the Leafs are high on, but if it came down to it, they could be part of a trade package to acquire a solid NHLer in return.
