The Toronto Maple Leafs are actively scouting for a center, but options like Brayden Schenn from the St. Louis Blues may not be viable due to the Blues' playoff aspirations. While the Leafs are willing to exceed fair market value, a trade for Schenn appears unlikely. Alternative players like Scott Laughton from the Philadelphia Flyers could be more achievable. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild are facing cap constraints as they prepare to activate Kirill Kaprizov from LTIR, limiting their trade options. General Manager Bill Guerin emphasizes that any potential moves will require significant salary adjustments.
