The Toronto Maple Leafs emerged as a potential destination for a Rutger McGroarty trade with the Winnipeg Jets.
It's no secret that the Jets have been looking at their options to offload Rutger McGroarty on the trade market. He's an interesting prospect who could have an impact in the NHL in the coming years, and according to a new report, the Toronto Maple Leafs could be the perfect destination for him.
In Toronto, Nicholas Robertson revealed that he wanted to get a fresh start in another organization. When two players are unhappy in their teams, trading them could be a realistic scenario.
Even if Robertson isn't at McGroarty's level, the Leafs' general manager Brad Treliving could add a few picks in order to make an interesting offer to the Jets.
In 36 games with the University of Michigan last season, McGroarty scored 52 points, including 16 goals. As for Robertson, he scored 27 points, including 14 goals, in 56 games with the Maple Leafs.
With both players looking for a way out of their respective organizations, they could push their GMs to make a deal sooner rather than later.
