The Toronto Maple Leafs are running out of time to make a move, and they might find their answer in an unexpected place.
With Friday’s 3 p.m. ET trade deadline looming, GM Brad Treliving needs to act fast. Several potential targets have already been snatched up by other teams.
But there’s an interesting option out west that nobody’s really talking about.
While most eyes are on Vancouver Canucks defenseman Carson Soucy, forward Pius Suter could be exactly what the Leafs need right now.
Suter’s been flying under the radar this season, but he’s exactly the kind of affordable, reliable forward that could give Toronto’s lineup some extra punch without breaking the bank.
The clock is ticking for Treliving. He can’t afford to wait much longer – especially after missing out on some bigger names in recent days.
What makes Suter particularly interesting is his versatility. He can play up and down the lineup, kill penalties, and won’t cost nearly as much as some of the flashier names on the market.
For a Leafs team that needs depth without spending big, this could be the kind of smart, under-the-radar move that pays off when it matters most.
