Sportsnet Lists Possible Defenseman Trade Targets For Leafs.
The consensus remains that the Toronto Maple Leafs need some defensive help if they want to have any success in the playoffs.However the cost to land a top tier defenseman is pretty expensive through the trade market so getting a rental might be a better option. Sportsnet's Luke Fox has listed six potential trade targets the Leafs could land for a cheaper deadline price. Most of these guys considering their age would be a short term plug solution.Alex Edler- The Canucks defenseman is a lefty, so we're not sure it's a likely option for Dubas. Jay Bouwmeester - The Blues vet has actually been a healthy scratch a couple of times this season, however he seems like the kind of vet that head coach Mike Babcock would likely love come playoff time. Niklas Kronwall - The Wings defenseman kind of fits the same mold that Bouwmeester does and has a history with Babcock. Nick Jensen - One of the younger players on the list, we're not sure the Wings would be willing to give him up. Ben Lovejoy - The Devils vet would definitely eat up minutes, but that's about it. Marc Methot - The Stars veteran is currently injured and carries a modified no trade clause, it's believed he used to block a trade to the Leafs previously. Do you think any of these guys could help the Leafs for a playoff push?
