Breaking News: NHL Rumours Toronto Maple Leafs Linked To Montreal Canadiens Centre……..
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been linked to Montreal Canadiens center Sean Monahan in recent NHL trade rumors. With Auston Matthews sidelined due to injury, Toronto is reportedly exploring ways to strengthen its center depth. Monahan, known for his versatility and strong two-way play, could provide the Leafs with much-needed stability on both ends of the ice. His reasonable $1.95 million cap hit makes a potential trade more feasible for the cap-strapped Leafs.
Additionally, trade discussions have involved Montreal defenseman Arber Xhekaj, whose physical presence and defensive reliability could appeal to Toronto’s management. Speculation suggests that a package deal involving Monahan and Xhekaj might address the Leafs’ pressing needs at center and defense, though no formal offers have been confirmed.
Montreal, however, may be reluctant to part with these players without receiving a substantial return, possibly including a first-round draft pick or a promising young player from Toronto’s roster. As the trade market heats up, both teams seem poised to explore mutually beneficial deals ahead of the NHL trade deadline.
