TSN: Darren Dreger said that it’s more than likely that Toronto Maple Leafs pending UFA forwards Bobby McMann and Scott Laughton are traded. There are a lot of players available, and GM Brad Treliving has had some trouble getting legit offers.

So, yeah, I heard it like everybody else, but I’m playing for the Leafs now and I want to be here.”
