He&#8217;s 32 years old, so he&#8217;s got the experience. I just think that you put him in this lineup, he would fit. It&#8217;s like there&#8217;s kind of a big missing piece in this forward group, kind of in that middle-six type of deal. And to fill it with a high-end guy like Trocheck, it would just be like, the balance would just be humming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Over the past three years in New York, Trocheck has tallied 64, 77 and 59 points, and given the two-way game that he plays and the leadership that he brings, the 32-year old would be a massive upgrade in Toronto&#8217;s top-six, whether he remains at the centre position or moves to the wing.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the Maple Leafs have the issue of lacking assets to make a big move, so a player like Trocheck could potentially be in their range, and while they&#8217;ve still got plenty of talent, it&#8217;s clear that this team needs an upgrade to be a true contender, with Trocheck a fantastic option if he truly is available.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on HouseOfHockey<\/p>\n<p>POLL<\/p>\n<p>4 HOURS AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0238 ANSWERS<\/p>\n<p>Maple Leafs Rumoured to Be Targeting Star Centre From Conference Rival<\/p>\n<p>Should the Maple Leafs push to land Vincent Trocheck?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tHOUSEOFHOCKEY.NET<br \/>COPYRIGHT @2025 &#8211; ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.houseofhockey.net\/terms\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TERMS<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.houseofhockey.net\/politic\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">POLICIES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maple Leafs Rumoured to Be Targeting Star Centre From Conference Rival PUBLICATION Tom Banks July 28, 2025\u00a0\u00a0(6:05 PM)&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[20218,49,48,458,751,448,82,746,23508],"class_list":["post-30577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-brad-treliving","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ice-hockey","tag-new-york-rangers","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-toronto-maple-leafs","tag-vincent-trocheck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
