Toronto Maple Leafs Linked to a MASSIVE Trade for the #2 Pick in the NHL Draft

The Toronto Maple Leafs are all over The Athletic's latest NHL Trade Board, and the rumors are starting to get very interesting.   On today's episode of Locked On Leafs, Mike DiStefano breaks down why Matthew Knies was ranked as the third-most valuable trade asset available and what the reported interest around the league could mean for Toronto. With reports suggesting teams are willing to offer premium assets, including top draft picks and elite prospects, is there a deal the Leafs simply can't refuse?   Mike also discusses Morgan Rielly and Brandon Carlo appearing on the trade board, what their inclusion says about Toronto's offseason plans, and whether the Leafs could be involved in a blockbuster pursuit of the No. 2 overall pick. Could a package centered around Knies and Rielly be enough to land a franchise-changing talent? Plus, what exactly is the Leafs' goal for next season? Are they still trying to win now, or is this organization shifting toward a bigger-picture plan? With Gavin McKenna looming as the crown jewel of a future draft class, should Toronto be thinking long-term?   Also in the show: * Mike Babcock officially lands in Edmonton * DJ Smith joins the Oilers staff * The Washington Capitals continue loading up with the addition of Alex Tuch * Carolina's Alexander Nikishin could be available * Jason Robertson's contract situation in Dallas is becoming one of the NHL's biggest storylines   Subscribe to Locked On Leafs for daily Toronto Maple Leafs news, analysis, trade rumors, and everything happening around the NHL.   #LeafsForever #TorontoMapleLeafs #NHLTradeRumors #MatthewKnies #MorganRielly #BrandonCarlo #MichaelMisa #GavinMcKenna #LockedOnLeafs #NHL   Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
