Doug Armstrong was spotted at the game, making us wonder: could a trade be imminent?
The Blues have significant depth in their defensive unit. Either Justin Faulk or Colton Parayko would fit well in Toronto. However, they would come at a high cost. A more affordable option has emerged.
Treliving to Acquire a Defenseman From the Blues?
A particular defenseman has been identified as a great option for Treliving.
The Leafs GM might be considering Robert Bortuzzo as a potential addition to the blue line.
Bortuzzo is a sturdy defenseman who plays a physical and aggressive game.
"Robert Bortuzzo hasn't played yet this season for STL, and they're carrying 8D (primarily to play their young D).
He's 6'4, shoots right, has a cup ring, is from Thunder Bay, is somewhat physical, and has squared off against every heavyweight in the past 5 years."
Making a trade won't be straightforward, considering Toronto's current financial constraints. However, it's not out of the question.
