According to a report from The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta on Saturday, the Toronto Maple Leafs are hard at work in the trade market, trying to find a way to shore up their top-4.
The Leafs were originally believed to be interested in using one of Timothy Liljegren or Rasmus Sandin as trade bait in a deal to bolster the right side in their top-4, but per Pagnotta's report, they would rather deal 25-year-old Travis Dermott.
Unfortunately for Dermott, who was originally viewed as a potential top-4 defender for the Leafs, he has been surpassed by both Liljegren and Sandin on the depth chart, making him expendable.
