The Toronto Maple Leafs won't be moving the likes of Auston Matthews and William Nylander, but one shocking name has still surfaced in trade chatter. Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman revealed that the team has been quietly listening to offers for winger Matthew Knies as the NHL trade deadline approaches. However, Friedman made it clear this would only happen under one specific condition: a blockbuster proposal the Leafs simply cannot refuse. Stuff we're hearing: https://t.co/bcD...

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without their best defensive defenceman for the rest of this season, as Chris Tanev has undergone core muscle surgery. Tanev is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp in September. Tanev has been out for the majority of the season with multiple injuries. Back on November 1, the Leafs blueliner was stretchered off the ice and taken to hospital during a game in Philadelphia. Tanev missed multiple games and returned to the lineup in late Decembe...

For the record, Coach Jon Cooper isn’t worried about the team right now. Yes, he acknowledges that they’re not playing well, but he’s confident that the team will figure it out. For 55 games or so this has been a tough defensive team that makes opponents work for every goal. Right now that’s not happening and the Minnesota loss was a microcosm of the losing streak.
They gifted the Wild a stretch of power plays that ended with a Mats Zuccarello power play goal to make it 2-0. Then Andrei V...

Toronto Maple Leafs remain a team to watch heading into Friday's trade deadline, as general manager Brad Treliving is involved in multiple trade conversations.

After a disappointing year, Treliving is trying to retool on the fly and has several players who could be on the move before Friday afternoon.

He's missed plenty of time this season, but Rasmus Ristolainen is back as a top-pairing Philadelphia Flyers defenseman, and he's proving to be a serious commodity at this trade deadline. The right-shot blueliner has been terrific in his time back in the lineup the past couple of months and is logging massive ice-time for Philly, culminating in a 27-minute workhorse effort in a win over Toronto Monday night. The Flyers will be charging a high price, though, for any team looking to t...

Mangiapane was recently sent down by the Oilers to the AHL, and only played one shift, just to ensure he 'played' in one game, and is now eligible to be traded. The Oilers want to acquire a third-line center and have interest in Nic Roy and Scott Laughton off the Toronto Maple Leafs, but need to move Mangiapane first, to cle...
