Identifying blueliners around the league who would make sense for Toronto and who may also be available as the trade deadline nears.

The Toronto Maple Leafs need to add a defenseman to bolster their blueline, and a new report has emerged that sees Noah Dobson suddenly available on the market.

As Friedman pointed out, the Maple Leafs don't have a first-round pick in the 2025 draft. Toronto, however, has its first-round pick in the 2026 draft as well as all picks from 2027 on. Without such a premium draft asset to dangle, the Leafs may need to move a top prospect worth that type of selection to complete a meaningful trade.

Identifying the holes in the Leafs' lineup is fairly straightforward. Patching them at the trade deadline? Much less so.

Schenn has a full no-trade clause for the 2024-25 season, competing in year five of eight of his current contract.

The St. Louis Blues are exploring the trade market for captain Brayden Schenn ahead of the March 7 deadline, according to TSN's Darren Dreger. Moreover, Dreger named the Toronto Maple Leafs as a franchise that has shown interest in the forward while breaking the news on Thursday's edition of "Insider Trading."

Welcome to another edition of NHL Rumours. The Toronto Maple Leafs continue their search for a middle-six centre. Dylan Cozens was recently a name that popped up, but Brayden Schenn is the latest to draw Toronto’s interest.

On Thursday, insider Darren Dreger reported that St. Louis Blues have made captain Brayden Schenn available on the trade market and the Toronto Maple Leafs are expected to inquire about a potential deal.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly among the teams that will monitor St. Louis Blues captain Brayden Schenn if the Blues decide to put him on the trade market.
