Similar to this time last year the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to add a bottom six forward. Last year the Leafs asked about Luke Glendening but decided to add Tomas Plekanec who didn’t exactly work out for them. The Detroit Red Wings will seek a similar return as Brian Boyle who just went to the Nashville Predators for a second-round pick.
Boyle although is a physical force, good in the dot and is a trustworthy penalty killer, failed to score in each of his last two postseasons. Players like Boyle and Glendening are not exactly relied upon to score, that being said a second round pick for a grinding center is a steep asking price.
