Brad Treliving Will Need To Decide What He Wants To Give Up For Defenseman
If Treliving is not willing to give up one of the Leafs' prospects, and he has stood firm on not wanting to give up their first-round pick next year, the Leafs are limited on the assets they have that would bring in a top defenseman. One of those players, though, is Nick Robertson. Robertson, who has had a great season thus far, has struggled to find a foothold on the Leafs' roster and could be the trade piece that Treliving uses to bring in a defenseman.
We will see how this plays out as the deadline approaches in just a few days.
