The Toronto Maple Leafs are actively engaged in trade discussions with the Seattle Kraken to acquire veteran forward Yanni Gourde.
Gourde, a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Tampa Bay Lightning, brings a wealth of playoff experience and a strong two-way game to the table. His addition would provide a significant boost to the Maple Leafs’ depth scoring and solidify their third line.
The proposed trade involves a one-for-one swap, with the Leafs sending recent first-round pick Ben Danford to Seattle.
This move signals the Maple Leafs’ commitment to bolstering their roster for a deep playoff run. Gourde’s leadership and championship pedigree would be invaluable assets as the team aims to contend for the Stanley Cup.
