Report: Talented Maple Leaf to be traded

With Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock having had the chance to evaluate the players on his team many expect the Leafs to very active on the trade market this season.

A recent report from the Toronto Star seems to indicate that the man likely to be one of the first to be dealt is none other than talented forward Joffrey Lupul. Lupul's talent has never been an issue, his inability to remain healthy has been however and that may play a large factor in what the Leafs can expect in return.

From The Star:

Lupul is the core player most likely to be dealt sooner rather than later. If he can score and stay healthy, he’d draw some interest and a high return.

The Star to put a number on it believe there is less than 25% chance Lupul is a Maple Leaf at the end of the season.
