"I don't know the specifics of where they're going, I'm going to speculate a little bit - and it wasn't Bobby McMann. I know there was a lot of intention and speculation about Bobby McMann, but going into the week, I know they haven't spoken about McMann. But it sounds like maybe it's Nic Roy, maybe it's Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Those are two (players) I would not be shocked if they've poked on."
"I like it here with Toronto. I wouldn't necessarily want to go anywhere. I want to run with these guys. I want to make a push here,"
"I can't really control what happens outside of that. I'll just have to deal with it then."
The Edmonton Oilers were in discussions with the Toronto Maple Leafs before the Olympic roster freeze about acquiring veteran players. Conversations appeared to focus on Nic Roy and Oliver Ekman-Larsson rather than Bobby McMann. The Maple Leafs are reportedly seeking a first-round pick for 29-year-old winger Bobby McMann, who is considered a popular trade candidate. McMann said he prefers to remain in Toronto and will focus on playing despite trade speculation. Nic Roy was acquired in the Mitch Marner trade to serve as a third-line centre and has five goals and 20 points in 54 games. Ekman-Larsson has functioned as the Maple Leafs' top defenseman this season.
