Maple Leafs reportedly place two forwards and a defenseman on the trading block
Maple Leafs blueliner Timothy Liljegren has been on the trading block for several weeks, and now the Leafs are willing to move two veteran forwards as well.
Prior to the draft, it was revealed by The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta that the Leafs were willing to trade Timothy Liljegren to free up some needed cap space.
More recently, the Leafs signed Liljegren to a two-year extension that will see him earn $3M per season, avoiding arbitration and making him more appealing to other teams. Now, according to TSN's Chris Johnston, the Leafs are also willing to move on from forwards Calle Jarnkrok and David Kampf to create additional cap space as well.
Johnston emphasized that the Leafs are not simply trying to offload them for scraps to free up cap space, but they're definitely willing to listen to potential offers.
Jarnkrok has two years left on his current deal, while Kampf has three seasons left. Jarnkrok's deal carries a cap hit of $2.1M per season and Kampf's carries a $2.4M cap hit per season.
With both players having modified no-trade clauses with 10-team no-trade lists, they may have the ability to control their destiny, at least somewhat.
