<a href='https://www.markerzone.com/hockey/stats/nhl/player/Nicholas-Robertson-54999' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Nick Robertson</a> and Calle Jarnkrok are two Leafs players that GM Brad Treliving has put on the trade block, and an NHL insider revealed he is taking calls now. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Toronto Maple Leafs</a> sit at a record of 5-4-1 through their first 10 games. While this start isn't exactly where they'd hoped to be, there are several promising developments that have emerged. New goaltender Anthony Stolarz has been reliable in the crease, while sophomore Matthew Knies is hot out of the gate and Oliver Ekman-Larsson has proved to be a solid fit, bringing unexpected depth to the defensive line. With all of these positives, though, the Leafs reach a very critical juncture, the one where cap constraints are going to require some freeing up soon. NHL insider, David Pagnotta, wrote recently that Toronto is trying to make some trades in order to alleviate these cap concerns. <a href='https://www.mapleleafsdaily.com/nhl-team/toronto-maple-leafs/insider-confirms-maple-leafs-taking-calls-on-two-forwards' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>According to reports, they are fielding calls</a> on both Calle Jarnkrok and Nick Robertson. Calculated decisions now need to be made to free up more budget space without sacrificing competitiveness. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Leafslatest/status/1851692882396353005'> </a></blockquote></div> On a recent episode of the 'Leafs Morning Take', hosts Nick Alberga and Jay Rosehill spoke to Pagnotta about taking a deep dive into the Leafs' cap situation. They talked about various trade scenarios, with the looming return of Jarnkrok from injury a key factor. Some rumblings of potentially sending Jarnkrok to Los Angeles emerged, and the hosts talked about how both his versatility and the recent health issues may impact a potential move. Roberston's name also cropped up as an easy trade, his small cap hit making him an easy asset to trade. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TLNdc/status/1851277684418150511'> </a></blockquote></div> Pagnotta highlighted that Jarnkrok might be more difficult to trade once he returns from injury, given his $2.1 million cap hit and injury problems of late. While Jarnkrok is one of those players on the ice who can play anywhere and in any situation, the financial bind the Leafs find themselves in may force them to move him out, even if they are very reluctant to do so. Nick Robertson has simply not had the same impact that he did in the preseason, and he's at that young age with a great skillset where he becomes a very attractive piece for other teams looking to invest in future talent. Nick Robertson is still somebody that you know would be in play if Toronto decides to move anybody as well, said Pagnotta. Toronto is going to have to make a move within the next week, with defenceman Jani <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/toronto-maple-leafs/brad-treliving-breaks-his-silence-on-if-leafs-jani-hakanpaa-is-ever-going-to-play' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Hakanpaa due back soon</a>. The Leafs will probably make a move on Calle Jarnkrok, Nick Robertson, or maybe Timothy Liljegren as they try to alleviate the cap crunch. This stretch of time will be very indicative of how Toronto's roster shapes up for the season and they might as well see some major roster changes now.
