Maple Leafs trade deadline

The Toronto Maple Leafs are considering a trade for New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin, who is entering the final year of his contract. While the Rangers are keen to re-sign him, concerns about his commitment may open the door for a potential deal, especially if the Leafs can offer a suitable return, likely involving their goaltender Joseph Woll. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Canucks signed Daniel Sprong to a one-year contract, adding scoring depth as he has established himself as a unique offensive threat in the NHL. Additionally, the Dallas Stars are exploring trade options, including possibly acquiring defenseman Justin Faulk to bolster their roster after losing in the Western Conference Finals again. There are also rumors surrounding disgruntled forward Nick Robertson of the Maple Leafs, who has requested a trade and may reunite with his brother in Dallas, potentially benefiting both teams. The recent hiring of Mark Leach as the Director of Amateur Scouting for Toronto could facilitate such transactions, given his experience with the Stars.
