Toronto Maple Leafs: Why You Don’t Trade Your Best Players

The Toronto Maple Leafs off-season has begun and many have speculated the Core Four will be no more.

Both Auston Matthews and William Nylander enter the final year of their contracts before becoming Unrestricted Free Agents, while Mitch Marner and John Tavares have two years remaining on their contracts with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The question is should the Leafs move one of their best players? And if so, who should be the one that is traded, with many speculating Mitch Marner to be the player to be moved.

The correct answer is, none of the core four should be traded with the caveat as long as both Nylander and Matthews are able to lock down to extensions.
