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. Advertisement 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.' Advertisement 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.

'This is home for me,' Kreider said. 'This is the organization that gave me an opportunity to live out my dream.'
