Report: Leafs Showing Interest In Chris Kreider.

Many believe that the Toronto Maple Leafs need to add some grit before the playoffs. A name we've heard attached to the Leafs a lot lately has been hometown boy Wayne Simmonds, however the Flyers forward is at the top of the trade chip board and will likely cost a first round pick. However there could be another solution in the Metro division for the Leafs. According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, the Toronto Maple Leafs are amongst the teams showing interest in New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider. Brooks adds that both the Boston Bruins and Nashville Predators are also in the race for Kreider. The 27 year old has 24 goals and 44 points in 59 games this season and is signed through next season at $4.625million.
