The Toronto Maple Leafs are still trying to make some moves<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sportsnet<\/a><\/strong>: Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts: The Podcast \u2013 32 Final Thoughts episode on Toronto Maple Leafs still searching for a difference maker, Florida noting wanting to match Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a>\u2018s ask but Toronto did, defenseman Morgan Rielly<\/a> and forward Matthew Knies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou recognize, I\u2019ll say this about Toronto. We mentioned before with Carolina, they\u2019re still on the market lurking. I feel Toronto can be still hopeful so as to add one other difference maker.<\/p>\n

Now, it is probably not now, it could be later, but I feel that\u2019s what they\u2019re considering. You recognize, they didn\u2019t hand over any of their futures, really, and I feel that they’ve, and even restock some. I feel they sort of checked out it as we kept that powder dry to remain alive in any opportunities that may arise. In order that\u2019s one thing with Toronto.<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

You recognize, Bobrovsky, this 3 times seventh, the least signed for. I heard that was his last ask of Florida, and Florida was not willing to go there. They made their decision, and Toronto gave him the offer that Florida wouldn\u2019t do. I feel it\u2019s going to be fascinating. I feel he\u2019s, I feel he\u2019s a very motivated guy. I feel he desires to prove there\u2019s quite a bit still there.<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cYou recognize, the opposite one here we must always discuss initially is Morgan Rielly. I said that there\u2019s a likelihood to maintain him. I don\u2019t know if that made everybody involved blissful. There was some reporting after that he would love to maneuver on. I just think that the, I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s true or not, I realize it\u2019s on the market.<\/p>\n

I just heard that Toronto told people they\u2019re not paying a giant price to maneuver him. Like if it\u2019s something they consider an excessive amount of of a sweetener, they won\u2019t do it. And I feel one thing that hurt them, as we talked about with San Jose, is that San Jose, with a alternative, looked as if it would prefer Nurse over Rielly.<\/p>\n

You recognize, I take a look at their D \u2013 (Darren) Raddysh, (Jake) McCabe, (Chris) Tanev, (Oliver) Ekman-Larsson, (Emil) Andrae, (Troy) Stecher. If Rielly comes back, they\u2019ll attempt to make it work for him. I feel they feel that with a brand new approach and possibly a little bit of a unique role, that would help them, you understand. I feel he\u2019s a incredible human being. I hope it really works out for him, but I heard Toronto told teams they should not paying a giant sweetener to trade him.<\/p>\n

Could the Anaheim Geese be a landing spot for Morgan Rielly?<\/a><\/p>\n

Kyle Bukauskas: \u201cSo that you mentioned, you understand, the Kings, situating themselves where somewhere down the road, if there\u2019s the chance to make an LA-type move, they will pounce. You read into it in any respect, of all of the signings they did, that a lot of them were two years.<\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cOh, I feel there\u2019s, yeah, I feel there\u2019s something to that here. It\u2019s also two years that you understand Matthews is up, right? So I feel there\u2019s that a part of it. But yes, I do think that they did that on purpose.<\/p>\n

You recognize, (Matthew) Knies, things probably calm down around him for slightly bit, which might be best for him. I used to be talking to someone the opposite day, was like, \u2018I feel sorry for that child, his name is in a brand new trade rumor day-after-day.\u2019 and possibly it calms down around him.<\/p>\n
