According to TSN's Chris Johnston, the Leafs are not in a rush to offload these players at any cost but are willing to consider offers to free up cap space. Liljegren signed a two-year extension worth $3 million per season, making him more attractive to potential trade partners. Jarnkrok and Kampf, who have cap hits of $2.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, have modified no-trade clauses.
The Leafs' offseason moves, including adjustments to their blueline and goaltending, indicate a need for creativity to address their forward lineup. Trading these players could create the cap room needed for further upgrades.
