Max Domi & Nick Robertson's Fate with the Toronto Maple Leafs has Been Decided
Toronto Maple Leafs forwards Max Domi and Nick Robertson have been mentioned in trade rumors, although a new update suggests things have changed.
When the season first began, it almost became a foregone conclusion that Nick Robertson was going to be sent packing at the deadline, especially with his offensive struggles.
More recently, the same has been said of Max Domi, who has also been dealing with some problems on offense.
Toronto Maple Leafs trade deadline plans
The trade deadline is coming up on Friday and there has been a lot of talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs, general manager Brad Treliving, and the franchise's plans to make a splash.
We all know that the team would love a third-line center and they would also love to get a depth defenseman.
However, according to Luke Fox of Sportsnet, the team is unwilling to purposefully shop guys like Domi, Robertson, and even Connor Dewar. They want their depth in tact heading into the playoffs.
Although it was also said that if the right deal were to present itself, then the Maple Leafs front office would be willing to consider moving these guys.
However, if they need to clear salary to add a player with term, these non-core forwards aren't entirely off-limits.
Overall, the trade deadline is always a very stessful time, and it is going to be fascinating to see what Treliving can do here for the Leafs down the stretch.
While the team has played very well this season, they could definitely use some extra help on offense. Last night's loss to the San Jose Sharks proves that.
The playoffs are a completely different beast from the regular season and the Leafs know this all too well.
The fans want a Stanley Cup and sometimes, that means taking risks. Whether or not Brad Treliving feels compelled to do that, remains to be seen.
