Toronto Maple Leafs: Why I Don’t Like The Nazem Kadri Trade
The Toronto Maple Leafs trade Nazem Kadri, Calle Rosen and a 2020 3rd round pick for Tyson Barrie, Alexander Kerfoot and a 2020 6th round pick (Avalanche retain $2.75 million of Barrie’s salary).
There it is. The trade that most Toronto Maple Leafs fans love, excluding me, of course. There are many reasons why I don’t like it and there aren’t many reasons why I do like it.
I’ll start with why I like this trade.
It addresses the Leafs’ number one need, which is a right-shot defenseman. Tyson Barrie is not a bad defenseman either, as he was 7th in defenseman scoring with 14 goals and 45 assists for 59 points last season.
