NHL insider Elliotte Friedman suggests the Toronto Maple Leafs could be a potential trade destination for Tampa Bay Lightning star Nikita Kucherov.
The rumor emerges amid a wider discussion of the league's trade landscape, which also includes Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin and reported interest from the Boston Bruins.
Friedman outlined the scenario during a recent segment analyzing the NHL's big trade board. Neither the Maple Leafs nor the Lightning have publicly addressed the speculation.
