Insider confirms Leafs will explore trading one of the core four

Today the Toronto Maple Leafs had their end-of-year press conference. After watching the press conference one insider believes the team is ready to break up the core four.

Ever since Brad Treliving took over the Toronto Maple Leafs last offseason many fans had wondered if the core four was in danger of being broken up. This year after another disappointing loss in the first round insider Chris Johnston believes that is where things are heading.





This is not much of a surprise after the failure that was the playoff series against the Boston Bruins. Many are assuming that the first to go will be Mitch Marner who has faced a lot of backlash in recent weeks, despite the speculation the front office would not confirm if any players are on the trade block.



Now the rumor mill can officially begin to stir as the offseason is under way for the Maple Leafs. The first order of business is hiring a new head coach. Then will come roster reconstruction for Brad Treliving, Brendan Shanahan and the front office.
