Shocking news revealed as Maple Leafs listens to offer from teams as they intend to sell three big stars

Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman examined the public interview held by Toronto Maple Leafs’ administration and media on Friday, talking through their large important points.

Friedman recommended that it was clear MLSE Chief Keith Pelley is in control, yet is leaving GM Brad Treliving and President Brendan Shanahan accountable for making on-ice changes. Furthermore, there will be changes.

Both discussed how this is as of now not the ideal opportunity for tolerance, and keeping in mind that neither explicitly said the “Center Four” was changing, there wasn’t a lot of adoration for how much the gathering of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander and John Tavares had achieved. All were given a very long time to push the needle. They couldn’t do as such.
Marek and Friedman then, at that point, went to the possibility of untouchables on the list and who, assuming anybody, is protected. Both concurred that Matthews was the main player untouchable. Marek didn’t see Nylander as somebody the group would move out, yet Friedman proposed in the event that the deal was out there and it was strong from a NHL group, the Maple Leafs needed to think about it.

With only one, perhaps two players on the Leafs’ untouchables list, that leaves Marner, Tavares, and defenseman Morgan Rielly on the table in offseason exchange talks.

Tavares, Marner, and Rielly Being Examined in Exchange Talks?
It was accounted for by Scratch Kypreos that groups have previously contacted the Maple Leafs about Marner. He has a no-move statement and full influence to stop an exchange, yet different clubs are intrigued, regardless of whether his agreement moves to $100M. He’s obviously a gifted player equipped for raising a ruckus around town point mark. Advances like that don’t open up on the exchange market consistently. On the off chance that you can secure one in exchange, it’s a good idea to hear that groups are interested about the asking cost.

Tavares may be a harder sell. He absolutely doesn’t have any desire to leave, however the Leafs might actually move him assuming that he’s pleasing, would it be a good idea for them they decide to hold compensation on the last year of his arrangement. On the off chance that Tavares is informed the Leafs are continuing on, there may involve pride included and a craving by Tavares to disprove the association.

Rielly turns into an intriguing player here. He is ostensibly the group’s just top-matching defenseman. In the event that Toronto is available to moving him, it probably implies the group plans to revamp their blue line totally. TJ Brodie is a forthcoming UFA as are Ilya Lyubushkin, Joel Edmundson, and Imprint Giordano. Jake McCabe has one year excess, Timothy Liljegren is a forthcoming RFA, and the Leafs can’t precisely work around Conor Timmins and Simon Benoit.

Assuming the thought is to exchange one, perhaps two of their center four, and the Leafs are available to moving Rielly (who likewise has a no-move provision), it appears to be conceivable to imagine that the emphasis is on guard and goaltending. While Treliving and Shanahan both discussed the absence of objective scoring in the end of the season games being a tremendous issue, Ilya Samsonov probably isn’t returning and Treliving highlighted proceeded with injury concerns connected with Joseph Woll.

On the off chance that Toronto can move Marner, the supposition here is they will focus in a group ready to exchange a defenseman and a goaltender. A proposition from Sportsnet’s Ryan Dixon involved the Leafs making a significant arrangement with the Calgary Blazes. Toronto would get back Jacob Markstrom and Rasmus Andersson. No reports affirm these two groups have had discussions about such an exchange, however Markstrom is available to continuing on from the Blazes and Andersson is the sort of blueliner Toronto would like and has a set of experiences with Treliving.

In the event that Rielly were moved, Toronto may be searching for an alternate kind of safeguard and the possibility to supplant a portion of the scoring that leaves if and when Marner goes somewhere else. Treliving discussed the requirement for season finisher style objectives and Shanahan referenced there is a major distinction between creating in the standard season versus the postseason. The Leafs may be searching for season finisher demonstrated makers.
