He is coming: Proposal Suggests Maple Leafs Trade for Former MVP from Blackhawks…..

A trade proposal suggests that the Toronto Maple Leafs could strengthen their lineup by acquiring former MVP Taylor Hall from the Chicago Blackhawks.

With Toronto in their prime window to compete for the Stanley Cup and having not addressed their forward group in the offseason, their goal-scoring struggles in last season’s playoffs highlight the need for a player like Hall.

PuckPedia’s new tool, PuckGM, allows users to create trade scenarios, and one user proposed a trade where Hall would be sent to Toronto.

The suggested trade is a one-for-one deal where Toronto would receive Hall with $3 million of his salary retained, making him a $3 million player to fit into their budget. In return, Chicago would get a second-round pick, aiding their ongoing rebuild with another high draft pick.

As Hall enters the final year of his contract, it seems likely he will be traded by the deadline, especially if Chicago, as expected, is not in playoff contention. This move would allow the Blackhawks to secure another valuable draft pick while providing Toronto with a skilled forward to further enhance their offensive lineup.
