Insider Reveals what Toronto would need to part with a top asset
The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for major upgrades on their blue line and in net ahead of the 2024 NHL trade deadline, and now, Elliotte Friedman has given an insight into their plans.
Will Toronto part with their 2024 first-round draft pick?

Can Toronto find a blockbuster deal to part with their pick?
