Chris Nichols of Nichols on Hockey: Pierre LeBrun was on TSN 1050 and was asked if the Anaheim Ducks and Carolina Hurricanes would be the leading trade candidates if the Toronto Maple Leafs went down the road of considering a William Nylander trade.
TSN co-host Gord Miller brings up Brandon Montour and Jaccob Slavin.
LeBrun mentions that the Maple Leafs and Hurricanes did talk in the offseason, but it was about Justin Faulk and didn’t involve Nylander, and doubtful the Hurricanes would want to move Slavin.
