they are pursuing we’re going to break that down and discuss what it means going forward as the Toronto Maple are approaching a very critical trade deadline stay tuned for all that in this episode but

they do play later tonight against the New York Islanders we will have a stream for that so make sure you tune in but a lot of things going on right now and trade reports are you know escalating with there’s rumors flying Elliot Freeman’s getting involved we have a ton of things to go over here and some interesting Target let’s just dive into some of the reports that have been going down so the first one came from James Myrtle very notable very reputable Insider he said the Leafs have reportedly been quote looking aggressively for the center they want and quote ahead of the NHL trade deadline so we’re going to start with this we have a bunch of other things to go over including a couple targets here but it seems like Brad TR living uh seems like Brad Liv is actively going out and trying to acquire what we think is going to be a third line Center at this trade deadline as the trade deadline approaches could happen before of course but given the way that this third line has been producing it’s going to be interesting to see how this all fits fits into the equation here yeah and there’s been conflicting reports as well because they’re looking for a center as James Myrtle says here which is true I believe that they’re looking for a center Center but the real question is and what’s been thrown around by different reporters and insiders is are they looking for a second line Center or are they looking for a third line Center cuz there’s also been some reports saying that they wouldn’t mind moving tars to the wing and getting a second line center now I believe with the current makeup of the roster and I’m just going to throw two names out there and there’s a couple names that have been circling I think the best course of action is to go with somebody who’s uh more cost effective and can play third line Center we’ll get into it later in the video on how the money might work but I think two options that could be very useful for the Leafs is Nick buad from the Utah Hockey Club and Scott lton from the Philadelphia Flyers I think those are two guys you can win with and they’re really good options for the Leafs and again those names have been kicked around a lot fredman is reporting some things as well which we’ll get into but there’s a lot of conflicting reports right now and it seems like the Leafs are really considering their options do we want a second line Center to move tarz to the wing or is tarz playing well enough which I believe he is to continue playing second line Center let’s go get a third line center it’s going to be very interesting yeah and obviously You’ seen Ru change up the Top Line they’re changing up every single line obviously Matthew n been moved to the second line the third line which had a phenomenal game again yesterday headlighting Nick Robertson Max doy playing Center which a lot of fans we saw some people in our stream yesterday kind of debating whether or not Max doy can be a playoff third line Center on a very good team we’re seeing articles and rumors circulating surrounding Scott Lon could it be the maple Lea’s next trade acquisition shout out to mark fedos for the for that article and you can see this here Scott Laden would be the perfect fit for the Maple Leafs given the team style under Craig buub the Oakland Anor native is is making $3 million this season and next he could catch or he could fetch sorry a reasonable return if traded I’m curious I mean bring this up again this is not a report this is more of a rumor about Scott loton and it kind of floats well into what the actual reporters are saying I think it would fit very interestingly and is a name will be you know to watch and as we approach the deadline 32 games the season he has seven goals and eight assists for 15 points which is perfect for what the Leafs really need here and as you start to think about what the return could be before another report Nick Robertson has been the name we’ve been throwing all over the place with how well he’s been playing lately that now makes the conversation a bit more difficult surrounding what the actual assets that Leafs would be giving up is do they get rid of some of their depth in the Marley do they give up some picks that’s still up in the air but the question now is what is the return going to be for whatever the center is that Brad living is actively pursuing and aggressively pursuing is Nick Robertson in still headlining this deal I’m not entirely sure that three or four games is going to change Brad sh living’s mindset on this but if they wait until a trade deadline we’ll have a much clearer view of what Nick Robertson’s is and how he’s going to be factoring into this third line because if this third line continues the way that it’s going I don’t know that they would want to change that up they’re buzzing right now that is for sure that’s something that you have to consider in all these trade talks and when they’re looking for centers right I don’t and I can’t really Envision Max doy playing Center come playoff time right and when you look at Nick Robertson too I’ve defended him all year I still think there’s a very high ceiling there and he’s finally figuring it out these last couple games he’s played very well right but business is business if you want to make your team better and you want to make your team uh you know a harder team to play against in the playoffs you got to consider these things maybe Nick Robertson could be considered in this trade because I think the Philadelphia Flyers are going to get a very good return for Scott Laden because a lot of teams could use a player like this playing third line Center for them so um especially the Leafs this is a guy I think you can win with right he knows how to play the right way and I think uh you know having him on a team with Craig brue and just the style they’ve been playing I think it lends very well to his type of game over there with the Flyers and he’s coming from a team coached by John torella as well so I think he’d fit in perfectly with the Leafs right now but um it’s a very interesting option and then if you were to do that maybe Nick Robertson moves out I’m not saying it’s a one for one or anything like that but maybe you get another piece back because I still think the Leafs want a couple pieces here before the end of the year around the trade deadline um you know it kind of solidifies your lineup a little bit more DOI can maybe moov to the wing then there’s a couple things that you can move around right so I think it’s very interesting and I think the correct course of action right now yes the third line is buzzing at times we’ve seen the second line you know really turned it on this year I think the correct course of action is leave tavar is second line Center he’s played really well this year he’s still filling that role I believe third line Center could do some work and could really solidify that lineup especially down the middle yeah and we can dive into some other reports that have come out like you mentioned the uh the contradicting reports conflicting reports this is from of course David Pata I believe the maple are in the market for a second line Center but are keeping their cap space in mind they may not go after the top names but are exporting affordable options if they can find the right uh 2C the likely stick with John TZ a center and add a left Winger who can score play physical and be defensively responsible alongside tarz and William neander even though we’ve seen now they switched up William neander into that Top Line we saw yesterday in the second half of the game they put neander or they separated that Top Line again kind of moving naner back down so things have been very fluid in every game that’s kind of the way that Craig bruy has been this entire season we’ve seen him you know juggle the lines he’s not afraid to make changes which is something that we can both appreciate obviously Sheldon Keef was kind of like that as well he’s a lot more hesitant with moving things around Craig breu doesn’t really uh doesn’t care at all he doesn’t in the slightest but we’re going to out loton here before we move on to Elliot Freeman’s report $3 million capit a UFA after 2026 you have a couple years of control as well in your four of five so if you bought him if you bought him if you traded for him his contract wouldn’t end you wouldn’t have to like yeah make a huge contract after this you have not another year of course after he wouldn’t be a rental which Brad sh living I would say he hates rentals but he did kind of just trade for a bunch of rentals last trade deadline albeit they were you know fourth rounders sixth rounders going out so it’s interesting um let us know what your thoughts are on him a very interesting G we haven’t really spoken about too much he is course something to note the assistant captain of the you know of the team he’s on so it’s interesting I don’t know if he necessarily want to you know the Philadelphia Flyers would want to trade him just given that along with a couple other things but ultimately it’s going to be interesting to see what happens with that and Freeman echoed what we’ve been saying here now pointing out the team’s interest in moving John tarz to the wing could be another reason they are prioritizing a center and this is on of course the 32 thoughts podcast and he said Toronto continues fleshing out centers he’s very good at taking draws moving him to the left side during play adds much needed offense to that side so it kind of adds had some more interesting details into Scott ofon into whoever else you want to uh you know put into this specific spot obviously we’re using this for sake of argument you mentioned Nick bu that he’s a really good fit arguably to me a better fit than Scott lton but any thoughts on this before I wrap up here uh Freeman echoing the same thing that’s three different reporters now yeah and I think Scott Laden’s been kicked around a lot this name right like Paul Binet is on this as well this would be a great fit and I think not just because of his play on the ice but like you mentioned you brought up at the contract he has another year you have another year of control on this player this is not a rental you can keep him and then maybe flip him if you want or you can keep him he can be a really good asset for this team right and a good uh glue piece for the third line so I think that it’s definitely an option that they should look at Nick bues that as well these lowcost uh effective options for maybe your third line I think is the way to go because there’s still a lot of you know you’re very topheavy with the salary right now so and it’s fine John tovares is playing very well so far this season the foot speed to me has always been an issue and a question mark with John tar so if that’s the reason why they want to go out and get a second line Center I think he does a lot of other things that uh you know a lot of players don’t do second line Center wise so I think he’s been uh pretty good and again it’s an option that they should look at and I think they’re may be going to make one move or two but again Brader living doesn’t like the trade for rentals necessarily and he doesn’t like to build his team at the trade deadline I feel like this is pretty much what we’re going to see heading into the playoffs minus a piece or two like Scott Laden yeah let us know down below what your thoughts are on that and also let us know what Target you think the lease are going to be pursuing because again they are aggressively pursuing a center and we kind of knew that going in the big question now is who that will be we’ll keep you update with all the latest news as reporters continue to fly I wouldn’t be surprised if buad or Lofton are the ones thank you guys for watching we’ll see you later
