The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a win now mode and their deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins for Jared McCann just serves to reinforce that point.
The Jared McCann deal also hints that the Toronto Maple Leafs probably have some kind of back deal with the Seattle Kraken over the expansion draft. Not that both of those points weren’t clear already.
McCann is unlikely to be able to match his output from this past season, but he is a solid, versatile, piece for Toronto. Whether Alexander Kerfoot or McCann himself ends up going to Seattle, the Leafs have protected their depth at a cheap cost.
