Overview
- With the Olympic roster freeze in effect, Toronto is preparing to revisit trade talks once transactions resume less than two weeks before the deadline.
- Daily Faceoff places McMann as the highest Maple Leaf on its trade board as Toronto is viewed as leaning toward a seller posture.
- Insiders peg his value at least at a second-round pick, with two seconds or a second plus a prospect in play and a late first possible in specific circumstances.
- A pending UFA carrying a $1.35 million cap hit, McMann has 19 goals and 13 assists in 56 games and has said he would like to stay while acknowledging a trade is beyond his control.
- Edmonton is highlighted as a strong suitor after his performance there, Colorado is also cited as a fit, and the Leafs are expected to entertain offers on Scott Laughton and Calle Jarnkrok.
