Revealing the Details of a Major Failed Trade Between the Leafs and the Hawks

BY JULIEN TREKKER    MAY 23, 2023  (1:59 PM)

A Failed Trade



The Maple Leafs and the Blackhawks had supposedly reached a deal in 2022 that would have changed both of their franchises considerably.

This is what was supposed to happen:

To Toronto:


Brandon Hagel
Marc-Andre Fleury

To Chicago:

Petr Mrazek
Matthew Knies
Two first-round picks


Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

The trade was approved by both General Managers, but something or someone got in the way.

Did Shanahan Block the Trade?



As we reported earlier, there's a possibility that Brendan Shanahan prevented the trade from happening.

If Fleury had joined the Leafs in 2022, their playoff run could have ended completely differently. Do you think they would have reached the second round?
