Toronto Maple Leafs<\/h2>\n

Rumour: Pierre LeBrun of TSN and The Athletic reports the Leafs have had preliminary talks involving a\u00a0<\/em>Patrick Marleau<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>trade with the Los Angeles Kings<\/a>. While LeBrun notes the connection between Marleau and Kings coach Todd McLellan<\/a>, negotiations are still in the early stages.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hearing the Leafs and Kings have talked about a potential Patrick Marleau trade. Obviously there\u2019s the Todd McLellan connection there for Marleau so he might waive. But as of now I don\u2019t think the two teams have found a fit. Kings would need to unload a contract or two as well…<\/p>\n
