""From the Brad Treliving side of things, the Leafs front office have started garnering, engaging what their players are worth on the market," he said during Wednesday's edition of Early Insider Trading. "I don't expect a three-game winning streak - and even perhaps if it extends beyond the break, where the Leafs win a couple games outta the break - don't believe that's going to alter what this front office wants to do.""
""You've heard the names pending UFAs, like a Bobby McMann who played well in Edmonton, has been tied to rumours with the Edmonton Oilers potentially having interest there," Johnston continued. "Scott Laughton's a UFA, Simon Benoit, perhaps a Brandon Carlo or Oliver Ekman-Larsson. All these names, I think the Leafs are gonna get a good sense over the break in terms of what the value is for them on the market and monitor those decisions.""
Brad Treliving and the Leafs front office are actively gauging what players are worth on the trade market and preparing to sell ahead of the March 6 deadline. Short-term winning streaks or results after the Olympic break are unlikely to change the organization’s approach. The Leafs are targeting the second layer of roster players and pending UFAs, with interest expected in names such as Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton, Simon Benoit, Brandon Carlo and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Management will monitor market value over the break and likely make moves to retool the roster.
