Mintyukov’s Anaheim Role Shrinks - Leafs Are Watching

Pavel Mintyukov is getting squeezed in Anaheim, and that has the kind of ripple effect teams always notice. Toronto makes sense as a landing spot because the Leafs are forever hunting for young blue-line help with some runway. The trick is that every “perfect fit” in June usually comes with a price tag that makes the real conversation start in July. If Toronto wants to pounce, it will have to decide how badly it wants the upside.
