Maple Leafs Connected to NY Rangers Veteran Amid Offseason Retool
The Toronto Maple Leafs are entering an offseason of possible big changes after another early playoff exit.
With over $26 million in projected cap space and a need to reshape the roster, Toronto is starting to get linked to several potential trade targets.

One name gaining traction is New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider, who could be on his way out of Manhattan.
According to The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta, the Leafs are among the teams that could pursue Kreider this summer. In a piece for The Fourth Period, Pagnotta noted that New York may shop the 34-year-old winger to free up space.
'Is Chris Kreider the right target? The New York Rangers are expected throw his name out there again as they try to free up some cap space," Pagnotta wrote. "The former 52-goal scorer had a down year, but his $6.5 million cap hit, and style of player, could fit nicely on the team's second line if they feel he can regain 30+ goal form.'

Kreider finished the season with 22 goals and 30 points in 68 games, a sharp decline from the 39-goal campaign he posted just a year earlier.
Kreider has two years remaining on his seven-year, $45.5 million contract and holds a 15-team no-trade clause, holding some leverage in his potential destination.

Though Kreider expressed his desire to remain with the Rangers, trade speculation has surrounded him since reports emerged that general manager Chris Drury circulated his name in a memo to other teams at the start of the season.
'This is home for me,' Kreider said. 'This is the organization that gave me an opportunity to live out my dream.'

How Porter Martone, a top NHL Draft prospects and possible Bruins target, learned from the best
'I mean it was pretty special. Got to go play with a bunch of NHL players [at] the World Championships. Not every 18-year-old kid gets to say they can do that,' Martone said following his physical testing at the NHL Scouting Combine Saturday. 'I got to be around Sidney Crosby for a month straight. You can't put a price tag on that. I got to learn so much and I think I kind of got a little bit of a one up. I was around NHL players for a month, so going into the training camp, I definitely know what to expect.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Rubbing elbows with some of the world's elite players was an opportunity not afforded to many at such a young age. The on-ice education was invaluable, but was also how the pros conducted themselves when the games and practices were concluded. Advertisement 'I learned so much about the way that Crosby prepares himself for games, his routine, it's something special,' Martone said. 'When he goes to the rink, he's got something he does at a certain time on the clock, every single time. So that's pretty special.' It wasn't just Crosby who left an impression on Martone, who also represented Canada at the World Juniors. Advertisement 'Nathan McKinnon, how competitive he is,' said Martone. 'He said whether it's practice, playing a game in the hotel, or during games, he is always going to give it his all and he wants to be the best and he brings out the best in other people. And then you can look at Ryan O'Reilly, Brayden Schenn, they kind of took me under their wings, and how much fun they have at the rink, how good leaders they are.' One of Team Canada's goalies was sure-fire Hall of Famer and noted prankster Marc-Andre Fleury. Porter escaped Fleury's wrath, but he did get to witness some classic Fleury shenanigans. 'He got Adam Fantilli. [Fleury] sewed a cuff along the bottom of his pants together, so he couldn't put his pants on after the game, so that was pretty funny,' said Martone. A stout 6-foot-3-inch, 205-pound right winger, Martone finished ranked sixth on NHL Central Scouting's list of North American skaters. He is on the fast track to make an impact as a prototypical power forward. The Bruins currently hold the No. 7 pick in the Draft June 27 and a big-bodied winger with excellent vision and hockey sense could fit the bill nicely. Bear continuing rehab ahead of draft Carter Bear skipped the physical testing as the 6-foot, 180-pound center/left wing continues to rehab from an Achilles' injury suffered when a player accidentally stepped on the back of his leg earlier this year. Bear is an intense competitor who put up 40 goals and 82 points in 56 games for the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League. The 6-foot, 176-pounder's playing style (and last name) would make him an instant favorite in Boston ... William Horcoff's size (6-5, 190 pounds) and NHL pedigree (his father is longtime NHLer Shawn) make him an intriguing prospect. He rang up 8 goals and 14 points in 28 games with the US National Development Under-18 team and then collected 4 goals and 10 points in 18 games for Michigan last season. He is ranked No. 24 on CSB's North American skater list. 'My dad told me that if you want it, you've got to put everything into it, and I want it really bad,' he said. 'Just make sure you're not going to bed knowing you could have done more because if you can't do that, you're not going to maximize your potential and be the best player you can be in five years. That's the best advice he's given me.' ... The top four players in CSB's North American skaters rankings — Matthew Schaefer, Michael Misa, James Hagens, and Jake O'Brien — will be in Sunrise, Fla., for Monday's Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Oilers and Panthers.
