The NHL’s trade deadline is coming up this Friday, March 8, and naturally, trade rumors are abound. They are swirling all over the place and you cannot turn anywhere in the hockey world without being bombarded with this player moving to that team or that player moving to this team.
According to sources, one player that could be on the move and getting some attention is Minnesota Wild defenseman Zach Bogosian. The veteran blueliner was acquired by the Wild earlier this season in a mid-season trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning, but now, as a pending unrestricted free agent, could be seen to move places again as the Wild begin to come to grips with being out of a playoff spot.
One team that has been connected to the Wild is the Toronto Maple Leafs. That team has had the player before, arguably during the most successful season in the modern era, and are reportedly interested in a reunion.
What could the Wild get from the Leafs for Bogosian? We shouldn’t expect more than a mid-round draft pick, or something similar. If it’s anything more, that’s fine with us.
