But when a legitimate rumour starts to circulate, things get a little crazy if the Toronto Maple Leafs are involved.
Ever since Saturday’s Hockey Night in Canada and Elliotte Friedman’s recent 31 thoughts article, the Leafs rumour mill is on fire.
According to Friedman, Jeremy Bracco, Ben Harpus and Dymtro Timashov have all apparently requested to be traded.
Such are the problems that come with being the deepest team in the NHL.
Toronto Maple Leafs Trade Rumours
That these players would request a trade is not surprising.
Bracco was second in AHL scoring last year, and he’s clearly ready for a shot at the NHL, but the Leafs are a stacked team and he hasn’t even gotten a game yet, despite being called up once.
