Analyzing Toronto Maple Leafs Trade Options: Dylan DeMelo, Jason Demers, and Brendan Dillon

Dylan Demelo, Toronto Maple Leafs rumoursIf the Toronto Maple Leafs end up searching for a rental option on the right side of their defense, they may find that all roads lead to Ottawa — or possibly to the desert.

This is a continuation of my series on player trade evaluations, ranging from the Leafs ‘second-tier’ wingers here and here to the most talked-about top-four options, Matt Dumba and Josh Manson.

My previous reviews focused on the numbers, using tools like my SKATR interactive visualization, which resides here at MLHS and the heap maps of hockeyviz.com (behind a paywall). SKATR’s glossary and guide can be found at the link if you have any questions.
