Reports from source that broke multiple Leafs signings and trades says something big is about to go down
Obviously, I'll lead this piece off by informing anyone who reads this that this is an unconfirmed report, but I'll also share that this source had the John Tavares signing 29 minutes before Bob McKenzie. This source was also dead-on about the Frederik Andersen and Matt Murray trades before they occurred. With that in mind, let's get to it.
An unconfirmed report has come to light late last night regarding the Leafs working on something with a Western Conference team. No specifics were provided, but other reports out there suggest that it's something very big.
Obviously, the Leafs and Flames have been talking throughout the year, so there's some reason to believe that the Flames could be the team, but the Leafs have also been scouting several Western Conference teams in recent weeks, including the Vancouver Canucks, Los Angeles Kings and Seattle Kraken, among others.
We do know that Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe is not happy with how the Leafs have been playing. We also know that GM Brad Treliving has been trying to bolster his blueline since before the season even began. The trade deadline is now approximately 1 month away, and we have seen in the past that the Leafs like to do their business earlier than a lot of other teams, as we saw with the Ryan O'Reilly deal last February.
Buckle up, folks, this could be an interesting week in Toronto.
