All have been linked to the Maple Leafs, by speculation only, in the lead-up to Monday afternoon’s NHL trade deadline. The Rangers’ Chris Kreider is an all-around forward who the Leafs might have interest in at the trade deadline. The Leafs are said to have spoken to the Kings about the physical veteran winger. A veteran winger on a young Hurricanes club, he has 16 goals and is on pace to reach his career high of 21, set last year in Calgary. The Leafs, like anyone else, would have use for both a power forward and a hard-nosed defenceman.
