NHL Rumors: The Toronto Maple Leafs Looking To Give Nikita Zaitsev The Fresh Start He’s Looking For

Elliotte Friedman: The Toronto Maple Leafs and Nikita Zaitsev are working together to find a fresh start for him.

Lance Hornby: Zaitsev’s agent Daniel Milstein won’t comment on Friedman’s report that the Leafs are looking for a way to move the defenseman.

Adam Kimelman of NHL.com: Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas said he will try to give Nikita Zaitsev the fresh start that he is looking for.

“That will be our goal, to try to find a fresh start for him, for his own personal and private reasons,” Dubas said at the 2019 NHL Scouting Combine.
