Some unexpected news popped up this weekend about the Maple Leafs. It was reported Saturday night that Patrick Marleau is looking to move out of Toronto as his family will be literally moving out of Toronto back to California. This set off a scramble to find a matching trade partner out west. All of this came on the heels of the Maple Leafs allegedly talking to teams about trading away Nikita Zaitsev too.
It’s a break from the other item at the top of the Leafs agenda, signing Mitch Marner to a new contract.
