The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of three teams reported to have interest in Ethan Bear, according to Elliotte Friedman from Sportsnet.
During Elliotte’s recent addition of 32 thoughts, he mentions that Ethan Bear is not happy in Carolina right now, and that the Toronto Maple Leafs have interest.
Bear wants to be traded because he hasn’t played a game yet this season. Friedman points out that “it’s nothing nefarious,” and Carolina is doing what they think is best for them.
Bear wanted to play in the game against Edmonton to prove something against his former team.
