The Toronto Maple Leafs could be one of the main teams involved at the NHL trade deadline next week. After starting their resumed season with back-to-back losses in Florida, the signal appears to be that they should be selling a whole lot.
One player that could be on the block is veteran defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson. While he has ben the best and most consistent blueliner for the Leafs this season, he's also 34 years old and signed for two more seasons -- at a very respectable $3.5-million AAV, but still under contract in his mid-30s.
Now might be the time to sell high and after reports came out that the Edmonton Oilers are targeting Ekman-Larsson as an answer for their defensive problems, we now have the latest report on what kind of deal we could expect involving the veteran blueliner.
