3 Trades That Could Land the Toronto Maple Leafs Erik Karlsson
The Toronto Maple Leafs appear to have their forwards lines sorted for the coming season. However, the roster isn’t yet complete.
The Toronto Maple Leafs could greatly benefit from an upgrade to their defense core.
It happens that the best defenseman in the NHL is rumoured to be on the trading block. There is no bigger prize for the Leafs at this time than to boost their blue line than the acquisition of Erik Karlsson.
Karlsson was unbelievable last season for the San Jose Sharks.
He put up hall of fame numbers. In 82 contests, the 33-year-old Swede recorded 25 goals and 76 assists.
Keep in mind, that was a 101 point season for a defenseman, not a forward. (stats nhl.com).
