The First NHL Trade Domino Has Fallen… Is a Maple Leafs Move Next?
About this episode
The episode discusses recent NHL trades and potential moves for the Toronto Maple Leafs as the offseason heats up.
The NHL offseason is officially heating up! NHL GMs are BACK to work, and the first big trade domino has already fallen. Is this the beginning of a busy September around the NHL, or just a random late-summer move? On today’s episode, we break down the latest NHL trade news and discuss what could be next for teams like the Detroit Red Wings, Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver Canucks — and potentially the Toronto Maple Leafs. Plus, what should we expect from John Chayka and the Maple Leafs before training camp? We look at potential Toronto Maple Leafs PTO candidates, including Nick Blankenburg, Michael Bunting and Connor Ingram. And we bring back a Maple Leafs edition of This Leaf or That Leaf!
