"The Toronto Maple Leafs could use a roster shakeup, and according to recent reports, general manager Brad Treliving is working the phones. Hockey insider Elliotte Friedman reported last weekend that Treliving is looking to make a 'hockey trade', which means NHL roster player for NHL roster player. The Leafs Nation's Michael Mazzei highlighted on Monday three Maple Leafs who make sense as trade chips Treliving could be dangling, and they included defencemen Brandon Carlo and Simon Benoit, and forward Max Domi."
"The Maple Leafs have limited cap space at the moment, so any deal will have to be balanced financially. There's also the fact that Treliving dealt a first-round pick and top prospect in Fraser Minten for Carlo, so he won't be looking to ship Carlo out of town for nothing less than an experienced middle-six forward, or a top-four defenceman."
General manager Brad Treliving is pursuing NHL roster player-for-player trades and is considering moving defencemen Brandon Carlo and Simon Benoit, and forward Max Domi. The Maple Leafs have limited cap space, so any trade will need financial balance. Treliving surrendered a first-round pick and top prospect Fraser Minten to acquire Carlo, so Carlo would require an experienced middle-six forward or a top-four defenceman in return. Benoit and Domi have produced modest results in the past two seasons, limiting trade assets and likely necessitating packaged deals. Michael Bunting is owed $4.5 million this season, is a pending unrestricted free agent with no trade protection, plays for the Nashville Predators, and could be motivated to earn a long-term extension.
