Analyst urges Maple Leafs to acquire Vincent Trocheck.<\/p>\n
The Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> could still use a top-six forward, and one analyst urges them to make a bold move and make a blockbuster trade.<\/p>\n Former NHLer and now analyst for LeafsNation, Jay Rosehill, believes the Maple Leafs should look to trade for Vincent Trocheck from the New York Rangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAnother guy is Vincent Trocheck. He\u2019s 32 years old, so he\u2019s got the experience. I just think that you put him in this lineup, he would fit. It\u2019s like there\u2019s kind of a big missing piece in this forward group, kind of in that middle-six type of deal,\u201d Rosehill said<\/a>. \u201cAnd to fill it with a high-end guy like Trocheck, it would just be like, the balance would just be humming.\u201d<\/p>\n Trocheck could play in the Maple Leafs\u2019 top-six and add some secondary scoring to the lineup. He\u2019s also known for his high-pace game as he isn\u2019t afraid to get into the dirty areas and be a pain to play against.<\/p>\n Trocheck has four years left on his seven-year, $39.375 million deal<\/a> with the Rangers, so it would cost Toronto quite a bit to acquire him. But, he\u2019d give the Maple Leafs another offensive weapon, and he\u2019s someone who plays the right way in the playoffs.<\/p>\n Trocheck recorded 26 goals and 33 assists for 59 points in 82 games<\/a> last season with the Rangers. He\u2019s played in 56 career playoff games, recording 17 goals and 20 assists for 37 points.<\/p>\n Trocheck is a Leader<\/p>\n Along with his ability to add some more offense to the Maple Leafs\u2019 lineup, he would be a leader on and off the ice.<\/p>\n Trocheck is a leader in the Rangers\u2019 locker room. After New York\u2019s disappointing season, he said he wants to be the reason for the team to turn it around.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to be a part of the reason that we do right the ship,\u201d Trocheck said on April 21<\/a>. \u201cWe don\u2019t have very many opportunities to win a Stanley Cup and that\u2019s the whole reason why everybody in this locker room plays the game. I\u2019m looking forward to having this summer to figure things out. I have a lot of things in mind that we can work on and get better at. I do take responsibility for a lot of it\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cWe saw what we were capable of last year, (2023-24)\u201d Trocheck added. \u201cWe got a lot of time this summer to go back and look at what we can do better. I really believe in this locker room, I believe in everybody, I obviously believe in the talent we have.\u201d<\/p>\n Trocheck has spent the last three years with the Rangers. He\u2019s a two-time NHL All-Star.<\/p>\n Maple Leafs Could Use Another Top-Line Forward<\/p>\n After seeing Mitch Marner leave in free agency, the Maple Leafs have done a good job adding talent to their roster.<\/p>\n Toronto put an emphasis on its depth and being harder to play against. The team added the likes of Nic Roy, Mattias Maccelli, and Dakota Joshua, among others. Yet, Maple Leafs\u2019 GM Brad Treliving said he\u2019s looking to add a top-six forward.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen a player of Mitch\u2019s magnitude moves away, that\u2019s never a fun day\u2026 In a situation where a player was walking away this morning for nothing, we were able to recoup a player that fits a need for us\u2026 Mitch was a top-six forward, and we haven\u2019t replaced that hole,\u201d Treliving\u00a0said on July 1<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s really where our focus is.\u201d<\/p>\n If the Maple Leafs acquire someone like Trocheck, he\u2019d fit that role perfectly and would be part of the core for multiple years.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tCole Shelton<\/a> Cole Shelton covers the NHL and MLB for Heavy.com.
