The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't shown interest in trading John Tavares, but if they do, they'll likely be looking for a bigger trade return than this.

This off-season has been an interesting one for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and while they've made some solid additions, they're yet to make the franchise changing move that most have been expecting. Now, one fan on PuckPedia has suggested a trade that would do just that, but would it be a win for the Maple Leafs if they traded captain John Tavares?

The deal is a surprising one, as it sees the Maple Leafs give up their captain in the final year of the monster deal that saw the home town boy come home, but in return, they may want a little more.

In this move, the Leafs would get a solid third-line center in Yanni Gourde, as well as a depth forward in Jaden Schwartz and a 2025 second-round draft pick. This would provide great depth and likely give Toronto some flexibility moving forward, while Seattle would get the best player in the deal as they look to find a veteran presence for star and captain of the future, Matty Beniers.

Technically, this deal is achievable for both teams and on different levels, makes some sort of sense, but if the Maple Leafs were to accept this type of offer for their long-term captain, it's safe to say that they'd have plenty of questions for General Manager Brad Treliving.
