Maple Leafs Could Be on Kucherov Trade List, Friedman Believes

Roughly 24 hours after the bombshell report regarding Nikita Kucherov’s trade request, the Toronto Maple Leafs have emerged as one of the early contenders for the reigning Hart Trophy winner. Insider Elliotte Friedman, who first broke the news on Friday, went on the air during the October 31 edition of Saturday Headlines to discuss the latest on the situation. While he was clear about the fact that the details remain sketchy at this point, it was his opinion that the Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens would be two teams that Kucherov would consider a trade to.
