Insider Unveils Toronto Maple Leafs' Trade Plans
In a recent segment on Sportsnet, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman confirmed that the Toronto Maple Leafs have been actively exploring the trade market for a new goalie.
"The Leafs have dipped their toes in the goaltending market," reported Friedman on the Saturday Headlines
-
Joseph Woll's injury and Ilya Samsonov's struggles are slowly forcing Treliving to consider adding a new member to the Leafs' goalie unit.
Friedman added that teams who have a surplus in goalies aren't going to let players go unless the right offer is made.
If the Leafs want to get one, they'll surely need to pay a hefty price.
Also, with the way that Samsonov has been playing, it's most probable that not a lot of teams will be interested. If Treliving wants to move him, he could be forced to sweeten the deal with a prospect or a pick.
