The Toronto Maple Leafs would be one of the teams interested in Vincent Trocheck
TSN: Darren Dreger on TSN Override talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs and someone they could look at, as they look to appease Auston Matthews and get back to being competitive next season – New York Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck. The Maple Leafs are one of the teams that are interested, but would he consider it? He is an American and has a 12-team no-trade clause.

Bryan Hayes: “Go ahead. What do you have?”
Dreger: “This wouldn’t be a surprise, but we know that New York’s trying to get off the contract of Trocheck, right? Toronto is among the teams that have some interest, for sure.”

Jamie McLennan: “Now, does he have interest? That’s the question.”

McLennan: “That is something that has, we can have a different talk about that another time, but I have talked to a few managers that are mindful of.”
O’Neill: “Yeah, if you don’t think that’s a big time factor now.”
Hayes: “Well, according to JP, he has a 12-team no-trade list. Yeah, you think seven of them are north of the 49th (parallel)?”
