According to a recent report from Eklund of Hockey Buzz, there are four finalists circling the Maple Leafs while looking to land the 27-year old veteran, even if the asking price is very steep.
That report reiterates that the Wild, Islanders, Devils and Avalanche have been the four teams with the most interest in him all summer long, and while a new team has emerged, it appears those four will be in the bidding war as well.
In recent weeks, most of the buzz around the situation has been about the Leafs extending their home grown star, but now, it appears as though they've been looking to make a trade while keeping their intentions under the radar.
It's not yet been made clear what's happening in the situation, as it appears Toronto are firmly attached to a third line of Max Domi-Nylander-Robertson/Jarnkrok, but if someone steps up to the plate and meets their asking price, it appears a shocking deal could be made soon.
