3 players the Toronto Maple Leafs should trade away

The Toronto Maple Leafs should look to trade Calle Jarnkrok at this point.

Calle Jarnkrok is a good player for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He is not someone that is a superstar by any means but he did have 20 goals and 19 assists for 39 points last season as a depth player.

He spent the first eight years of his career as a member of the Nashville Predators. Then, the Seattle Kraken drafted Jarnkrok from the Predators in the 2021 Expansion Draft.

Seattle then traded him to the Calgary Flames in the middle of their first season. Then, he ended up with the Maple Leafs as a free agent. He has had tons of good years in the NHL but nothing comes close to the year he had with Toronto last year.

Jarnkrok’s trade value might never be as high as it is right now again. The Leafs still have him on the books for three more years at 2.1 million. Obviously, trading him now wouldn’t create that much room on its own but it all adds up.

Again, keeping all of these guys would be a luxury. Unfortunately, it is a luxury that the Maple Leafs just can’t afford to have right now. They need to make a few trades and these three guys do make sense in different ways.
