Toronto Maple Leafs put an emphasis on goaltending and defense in the offseason, but to begin the season, the offense has struggled.
The website PuckPedia‘s PuckGM tool lets users create their own trades. One user proposed a deal that would see the Maple Leafs acquiring Ryan Strome from the Anaheim Ducks.The proposed deal does make sense as Anaheim gets off of Strome’s deal while acquiring a second-round pick and two NHL players, including one young forward who could be part of their future.
Strome is in the third year of his five-year $25 million deal with the Ducks. The forward could be a middle-six forward with the Maple Leafs and help add some much-needed offense to the lineup, as well as his ability to chip in on the power play. Strome has recorded 3 goals and 3 assists for 6 points in 11 games.
