Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers reportedly nearing a trade
It's been an interesting off-season to say the least for both the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Edmonton Oilers. Between the two sides either swapping players in free agency, or, the fact that both of them have virtually no cap room to add to their rosters, the two sides have been tied together for some time. It looks as if they may not me done yet, either.
According to an unsubstantiated source Hockey24/7, the Leafs and Oilers are working on a trade that would send Justin Holl to Oil Country in exchange for Jesse Puljujarvi the other way to Toronto.
Holl, 30, had 3 goals and 23 assists in 69 games last year for the blue and white and was regarded by most as a defensive liability. Although I believe that to be a little overblown by Toronto Media.
Puljujarvi, 24, is coming off his best professional campaign where he notched 36 points including 14 goals and 22 assists. He could add some much needed depth scoring for the Leafs.
If this source is right, Toronto should absolutely pull the trigger and ship Holl to Edmonton.
