With a week prior to the Olympic pause and the break in trade action, and just a few more ahead of the trade deadline on March 6, no transaction appears off limits and now, talk of a potential trade between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers is heating up. Bob Stauffer suggested on Oilers Now that Toronto winger Bobby McMann could be a perfect fit for the Oilers, and insider Elliotte Friedman agreed.

Could they be on to something… huge?!

McMann, a big-bodied forward, is known for his speed, relentless forechecking, and scoring ability and is exactly the type of winger a playoff-bound Oilers team would want to add.

With the Maple Leafs reportedly exploring moves ahead of the March 6 trade deadline, McMann’s name is emerging as one of the players who could be moved to shake up Toronto’s roster. For Edmonton, acquiring a forward like McMann could provide the depth and grit needed to support Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in a deep postseason run.

The Leafs and Oilers haven’t confirmed any discussions, but speculation is building, especially with Friedman acknowledging the possibility, and fans are already weighing the potential impact of such a trade on both sides.

Stay tuned. If this blockbuster happens, it could reshape the playoff picture for the Atlantic and Pacific Divisions alike.
