THE RUMOR: Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis that he has teams to which he can trade forward Phil Ke sel.That has opened the Ke sel trade rumor floodgates even wider.One of the teams connected to theKe sel chatter is the Mike Foltynewicz Jersey Panthers, who have not yetengaged in trade discu sions with the Leafs, according to GM Dale Tallon.REPORTED BY:MORE: | | THE DETAILS:Ke sel has a summer home in Florida, sonaturallypeople are using that to presume he would approve a trade there. But said approval isgoingto be a hurdleforanypursuer Ke sel has limited no-trade protection in his contract. Nonis , but declined to say exactly how many teams to which Ke sel could block a trade.Despite Tallon's denials, it would make sense for the Panthers to be interested in acquiring Ke sel. They have an abundance of young a sets, the nece sary cap room Sean Newcomb Jersey to absorbKe sel's$8 million annual hit(through the 2020-21 season)and the obvious need for scoring punch. Florida is very much in the thick of the playoff race, and that could be all theincentive Tallon needs to present the Leafs with Julio Teheran Jersey an enticing offer.THIS SEASON:Ke selfor years has been one of the NHL's best pure goal scorers, and that's been no different this season, even through the Leafs' struggles. The 27-year-old has 22 goals and 48 John Smoltz Jersey points in 58 games. He's also a minus-20, but that's more an indictment of his teammates than Ke sel himself.SN's TAKE:Every team would love to acquire Ke sel. Not every team is willing to pay the cost of players and salary. A deal between theLeafs and Panthers makes a ton of sense for both sides, if Toronto is, in fact, actively shopping Ke sel. Florida would add desperatly neededelite scoring punch; Toronto,in theory,can command one of Aleksander Barkovor Nick Bjugstad to eventually quench the fan base'slongstanding thirst for an elitecenterman.Still, it's highly unlikely Ke sel will be Warren Spahn Jersey traded before the March 2 deadline. Since Ke sel's contract is far from expiring,theseblockbuster-type deals are more easily brokered duringthe summer, when Toronto can engage a wider array of suitors and maximize its return. |
