Trade rumors that make sense.
Honestly, I couldn’t find any. Emotions mess with your brain, so some of the rumors out there are just a joke. It’s also too early for trade rumors as the playoffs are still in full swing. I will note a few players that might be available, and that I think the Leafs should at least inquire about. Call this my wish list.
Marc-Andre Fleury, G – He has one more year at a 7 million dollar cap hit, so Vegas would have to eat 50% just to take the phone call, but is there a better goalie in the game right now? Even at 37, he’s just such a gamer, and an absolute game-changer in net. He probably wins the Vezna this year. Campbell splitting time with Fleury, learning from him, could make up the best duo in the league.
Marcus Foligno, F – Why not? Maybe we can have both brothers bangin’ n’ crashin’ like maniacs. Seriously though, the Wild have some tough choices to make before the expansion draft. It’s possible a good forward becomes available. Foligno is a good forward and is signed at 3.1 million for 3 more years. Maybe the Wild take Engvall in the deal to offset some salary.
Sam Reinhart, F – A productive offensive player that apparently can also play center. Does he want out of Buffalo? He’s an RFA coming off a 5.2 million dollar deal. He’s 25 years old. Did I mention that he can play center? Dubas should be calling about this guy. All GM’s want to make trades with Kevyn Adams.
Conor Garland, F – The Toronto Maple Leafs were asking about this guy at the deadline. He’s a RFA who is coming off of his ELC, and he’s going to get paid. The Coyotes don’t have any money. Is there a blockbuster in there somewhere? Garland is worth the swing if you’re taking a swing…just saying. I bet Dubas calls Bill Armstrong again.
