Toronto Maple Leafs put players on trading block and Yzerman should look into it
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been exploring trade options for blueliner Timothy Liljegren for several weeks to manage their tight salary cap situation. In addition to Liljegren, the Leafs are now open to trading veteran forwards Calle Jarnkrok and David Kampf.
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.
