Rumor: Maple Leafs and Blue Jackets Talking Blockbuster Trade

It's been quite the day as the trades have been coming in fast and furious and this one would send Leafs Nation into a shock wave. Trade chatter has picked up drastically surrounding the Leafs talking trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets for not only captain Nick Foligno but also goaltender Elvis Merzlikins.

The package could include the Maple Leafs first-round pick, prospects Joseph Woll, Timothy Liljegren and Rodion Amirov.

There’s so much respect among contenders for what Foligno brings. As there should be. https://t.co/aS3J2JgRg0

The wildcard in all of the Leafs rumored trades is Frederik Andersen's health. If he is indeed going to miss the remainder of the regular season the Leafs will have roughly $7 million to work with before the 3pm trade deadline on Monday.

Stay tuned as both teams continue to discuss not only this deal but several others.
