"A potential trade candidate emerging in recent discussions is Andrei Svechnikov. The former second-overall pick from 2018 has struggled to find his game this season, posting just 7 goals and 5 assists for 12 points in 22 contests. Elliotte Friedman reported on Hockey Night in Canada that the Carolina winger is available, and his reduced role, including a lack of top-six minutes, has only fueled the speculation. Svechnikov is currently in the fifth year of his eight-year contract, which carries a $7.75 million AAV."
"The Leafs hoped that new faces in the lineup would help soften the blow of losing one of their most dynamic playmakers, yet the early results have shown the opposite. Instead of rebuilding momentum, Toronto has struggled to find consistent chemistry, scoring depth, and defensive structure, leaving them searching for answers as the season slips away. Brad Treliving is looking to make changes to the roster in hopes of sparking the lineup and turning the season around."
Toronto has fallen to the bottom of the Eastern Conference following a 5-2 loss to Montreal and a rocky adjustment after Mitch Marner departed for Vegas. New acquisitions have failed to replace Marner's playmaking, and the team struggles with chemistry, scoring depth, and defensive structure. General manager Brad Treliving is exploring roster changes to spark the lineup. Andrei Svechnikov has emerged as a potential trade target after scoring 7 goals and 5 assists for 12 points in 22 games and reportedly being available. Svechnikov carries a $7.75 million AAV in the fifth year of an eight-year contract. Injuries and limited depth have exposed major lineup holes despite high team goal totals.
