Maple Leafs blue line could use some help
It’s too early in the season to know for sure what defencemen are available in trades — that tends to be a function of their salary, their pending free agency status and what teams believe they’re playoff bound.
But you never know. In that spirit, here’s a list of defencemen who — if they squirt free that — the Leafs ought to consider.
Luca Sbisa, Ducks, 23, 6-2, 198 pounds.
Tim Gleason, Hurricanes, 30, 6-0, 217 pounds.
Kevin Klein, Predators, 30, 6-1, 200 pounds.
Shane O’Brien, Flames, 30, 6-3, 230 pounds.
Bryan Allen, Ducks, 33, 6-5, 234 pounds
Derek Morris, Coyotes, 35, 6-0, 201 pounds.
Hal Gill, Flyers, 38, 6-7, 250 pounds.
