Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bobby McMann is number one on the team's trade bait board, and they are making it clear what the asking price is going to be.
Bobby McMann has been one of the most versatile players on the Toronto Maple Leafs this season, although there is no denying that he is the likeliest forward to be traded.
He carries tremendous trade value, and there are numerous teams that would love to do business with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Having said that, general manager Brad Treliving is feeling pressure to get the right return for McMann; otherwise, fans will be upset.
Maple Leafs set their ask for Bobby McMann
According to Elliotte Friedman, the Toronto Maple Leafs have determined an asking price for Bobby McMann, and it is a hefty one.
Essentially, the team wants a first-round pick, and they will not be accepting anything less than that, which makes a whole lot of sense.
I think they're asking for a 1st rounder for Bobby McMann; now do you get it, I don't know
The trade deadline is going to be fascinating, and given what the Leafs paid for Scott Laughton last season, it makes sense that McMann would get a first-rounder.
Overall, the Maple Leafs need some draft capital, and a first-round pick could finally give this team a preferable position in the draft order.
These next few weeks should be fun to watch, and we will certainly be tapped in for all of it. For now, however, teams are not allowed to make any roster moves until after the Olympics.
