Toronto Maple Leafs Explore Trades for Roster Improvement

The Toronto Maple Leafs are exploring multiple trade options as they seek to bolster their roster during their Stanley Cup window. One proposed deal would send Timothy Liljegren to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Michael Bunting and O'Connor, as Liljegren has yet to play this season and may benefit from a change of scenery. Another trade pitch involves acquiring Yanni Gourde from the Seattle Kraken, which would involve trading away Liljegren and veteran forward Kampf. Additionally, the Maple Leafs are interested in Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames to strengthen their defense. Liljegren's potential trade has sparked interest from teams like the Detroit Red Wings and the Minnesota Wild, as he seeks more playing time. Maple Leafs' GM Brad Treliving is cautious about trading Liljegren, but it seems increasingly likely he may be moved to accommodate other roster needs.
