A shocking trade proposal emerges linking Radko Gudas to the Toronto Maple Leafs

The proposed deal could send Timothy Liljegren and a 2027 first-round pick to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Gudas, a move that has many supporters feeling uneasy.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been active this offseason, acquiring defensemen Chris Tanev and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. However, some believe the team's defense still lacks the necessary edge to compete at a higher level. According to Hockey Patrol and Heavy.com, Gudas has emerged as a potential target for the Leafs, with discussions surrounding his role as a second-pair right defenseman.

The trade would give Toronto a much-needed physical presence on their back end, with Gudas having racked up 128 penalty minutes and a +14 rating last season. However, the cost of acquiring him-a first-round pick and a promising player like Liljegren-seems too steep for many fans.

Liljegren, who was recently extended by the Leafs, has shown potential, and giving him up, along with a future first-round pick, is a high price for a player like Gudas. This potential trade has caused a stir, with many questioning whether it makes sense for the Leafs to part with such valuable assets.

Other online rumors suggest Radko Gudas could be the next captain of the Ducks:

While Toronto is looking to add grit to their defense, it seems unlikely that general manager Brad Treliving would proceed with this trade.
