Dubas Confirms He's Looking To Land Forward Through Trade In Next 14 Days.

"Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas is making headlines today. He started off by placing forward Jimmy Vesey on waivers after a pretty disappointing start to the season and need for cap space. Dubas then held his midseason presser and confirmed a report by Elliotte Friedman last week. The Leafs are looking to make a trade in the next 14 days to get a head start on any quarantining period and Dubas specifically mentioned he's looking for forward help. Dubas also mentioned that he's willing to give up a top prospect to get a deal done and isn't necessarily looking for a hockey deal and he would be happy with a rental. Could Nick Robertson, Rasmus Sandin or Timothy Liljegren be on the move?This is going to be a very interesting story to follow!

The 4 takeaways from Dubas' avail:
1) Hopes to make a trade ASAP because of the 14-day quarantine;
2) He would trade a top prospect;
3) He would prefer a rental player, for once, over a hockey deal;
4) Confirms that the forward position is leading their deadline discussions.
