The Toronto Maple Leafs may not be done to reform their forward group, and analyst Jay Rosehill believes that a daring trade for New York Rangers Center Vincent Trocheck could be the answer.
Talk about LeafRosehill said Trocheck would fit perfectly in the Middle Seat of Toronto. “He is 32 years old, so he has the experience. I just think you will place it in this line -up, he would fit.”
Rosehill added,
“It is as if there is a bit of a big missing piece in this forward group, a kind of that Middle Seat Type Deal. And to fill it with a high-end man like a trocheck, it would be normal, the balance would just hum.”

With Mitch Marner gone through a free desk, the Leafs have added depth strips such as Nic Roy and Mattias Maccelli. But GM Brad Treliving admitted on July 1 that the team still needs a top-six attacker.
Trocheck has just posted a 59-point season (26 goals, 33 assists). He is an attacking productive player, can play with a lead and has Playoff experience. He is also under contract for four seasons for a cap -hit of $ 5,625 million, which means that the costs to acquire him would be considerable. Yet he could provide Toronto in the front with long -term stability.
With his energetic style and proven impact after the season, he is exactly the type of player that Toronto needs to help insist on a Stanley Cup.
