Trade rumours emerge between the Leafs and Devils after Keefe hiring
It's been just a matter of days since Sheldon Keefe found a new job with the New Jersey Devils, but there's already potential trades lining up with his former team.
Sheldon Keefe was at the helm of the Toronto Maple Leafs for five seasons, and while they experienced some regular season success, they just couldn't get it done in the playoffs, which led to the firing of the young coach. However, it didn't take long for him to bounce back, as he's now taken over at the helm of the rising New Jersey Devils.
Now, just days after becoming official, trade rumours have begun surrounding Keefe, with reports emerging that he could look into adding Calle Jarnkrok, a veteran forward whom he loved in Toronto.
Keefe loves him and according to @CF_DepthCharts, Curtis Lazar is their current 3RW which is not ideal.
The Maple Leafs have some fantastic young pieces emerging, and it could lead to someone like Jarnkrok becoming expendable, and with the Devils needing depth to support their young stars, this deal makes perfect sense. What's not clear however is Toronto's willingness to deal with the team of their former coach, but if they can put that aside, this may be a solid trade that gets done over the summer.
