The Toronto Maple Leafs are seeking defensemen but are only offering lower-round picks. Sean Walker and Alexandre Carrier are potential options along with Chris Tanev. The Maple Leafs want to avoid trading their first-round pick and lack second-round picks for the next three drafts.
Meanwhile, Kevin Labanc of the San Jose Sharks may be traded as he is in the final year of his contract. Labanc's agent is working with the team to find him a new opportunity in the NHL.
