NHL Rumors: Toronto Male Leafs, Florida Panthers, and the San Jose Sharks

The Toronto Maple Leafs won’t sell for the sake of selling … OEL wants to stay

TSN: If the Toronto Maple Leafs can’t get Bobby McMann or Scott Laughton signed to an extension before the deadline, they’ll be traded, according to Chris Johnston. They’ll move others, but they won’t just move them for the sake of moving them.

“But what about guys with term? Oliver Ekman-Larsson, a player like Brandon Carlo, Max Domi? There’s a number of guys, veteran players on this roster, that I think the Leafs would look at under the right circumstances, but they have to be the right ask. They’re not just going to sell other players on the roster for the sake of doing so.”

Nick Alberga: Maple Leafs defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson doesn’t want to be traded. He loves Toronto and wants to stay. He has a 16-team no-trade list.

Would the Florida Panthers consider trading Sergei Bobrovsky? The San Jose Sharks would make sense

Daily Faceoff: Jeff Marek on DFO Rundown talking about the Florida Panthers and pending UFA Sergei Bobrovsky. Could the Panthers look to move Bobrovsky, and if they do, the San Jose Sharks could be a potential landing spot.

“I really wonder about the goaltending situation. If he’s not come back, and I have not heard anything about contract extension with Sergei Bobrovsky, I would not be surprised if the Florida Panthers moved Sergei Bobrovsky.

And if they do that, I would wonder about a team like the San Jose Sharks. Who are still fighting for a playoff spot. Probably want a veteran goaltender to play with the (Yaroslav) Askarov. And probably bonus, if that goaltender is a Russian goaltender as well. Maybe a contract extension. They have a lot of cap space to play with here.

That is, and I’m just sort of freestyling this one here. That is a move that would make sense to me for both teams if Florida is not going to bring back Bobrovsky. He’s an unrestricted free agent come July 1st. If we’re going to play goalie on the move, San Jose would make sense to me for Bobrovsky.”
