Gino Reda: “The Maple Leafs made a deal that involved their goaltender, Joseph Woll, on Tuesday, and there’s still a lot of chatter out there surrounding Matthew Knies. He’s obviously very attractive because he’s continuing to draw a lot of attention. Dregs."

Dreger: “Yeah, rightfully so. And, depending on who you talk to, Gino, there are a number of NHL executives out there who believe that Matthew Knies will be traded. I don’t think you’re going to get anything as definitive as that from the Maple Leafs at this point. But John Chayka is definitely doing his due diligence, as are other clubs, finding out why Matthew Knies would be available for trade.

"And I think from a Toronto standpoint, you’re just pitching for whatever the best return can be. I know that Matthew Knies is working hard during this offseason. He’s trying to trim down. I mean, he was in the mid-230s Gino, that was his playing weight, and he’s a big power forward, but I think he believes that he can be maybe a little bit quicker if he gets into the 220s and maybe less injury prone.

"But again, there’s a belief that the Leafs are at least willing to trade Matthew Knies. The conversations are ongoing with multiple teams with considerable interest in Knies. So we’ll have to see how that develops."

Who else would the Maple Leafs listen on?

Gino Reda: “Okay, Dregs, they’re listening on Knies. They’ve already moved on their goalies. What else are they listening on right now?

Dreger: “Well, just about everything. I’m told that it’s less likely that they move the first pick overall, unless Chayka, obviously, is blown away. They’re not going to trade Auston Matthews at this point.

"So, I think you’re looking at maybe a revamp of the blue line Gino. We know that Morgan Rielly is going to have a change of address, at least that seems more likely. They’re not pushing that just yet, but there’s been enough talk around that, that’s the expectation from the Morgan Rielly camp.

"I know there are calls coming in on Jake McCabe as well, and teams continuing to do their work around McCabe in terms of his health and what his future might look like.

"I think all of this, Gino, is kind of designed with a focus on unrestricted free agency. What if Tampa Bay’s Darren Raddysh hits the open market? I’m told that the Maple Leafs absolutely covet Raddysh, and they’re trying to create the cap space to make sure that they’re a big-time player, again, if he gets to July 1."
