Toronto Maple Leafs Trade Rumors: Insider Teases Imminent Deals

The Toronto Maple Leafs are on the verge of making another move, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.

The team has already made some big moves this offseason, including trading Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers.

What's driving the trades?

Dreger mentions Morgan Rielly, who has given the team a list of four Western teams he would be willing to be traded to.

The defenseman has played with the Maple Leafs since breaking into the NHL in 2013-14.

Who else might be traded?

There has also been speculation that the team is taking calls on Matthew Knies, who is just 23 years old and still under contract through the 2030-31 season.

Nicholas Robertson, a restricted free agent, could also be moved ahead of the NHL Draft on Friday.

The Maple Leafs acquired Darren Raddysh in a deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning for a 2026 fifth-round pick.

What's the impact on the team?

With a new general manager in place, it could be a more shocking move, although it does not seem like William Nylander or John Tavares is going anywhere.

Rumors that Auston Matthews may request a trade have seemingly died down, but there is always the possibility that the Leafs do something massive.

The team is attempting to rebound from missing the playoffs in 2025-26, and these trades could be a key part of that effort.

The Maple Leafs traded away Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Emil Andrae, Samuel Ersson, and a 2026 third-round pick.

Dreger posted on X, formerly Twitter, that "the Maple Leafs are definitely closing in on deals.
