"The Nashville Predators continue to struggle early this season, and general manager Barry Trotz hasn't been shy about saying they need more from their roster and that everything is on the table. One name that has quickly become the centre of speculation is Steven Stamkos, who could be an intriguing option for a team looking to shake things up. Meanwhile, the Toronto Maple Leafs have battled major inconsistencies in their secondary scoring, relying heavily on William Nylander and John Tavares"
"Even in the later years of his career, Stamkos remains a dangerous scorer. His shot is still elite, his hockey IQ is still high-end, and he continues to produce at even strength and on the power play. Over the past few seasons, he has remained a consistent offensive force, hovering around 30 goals. For a Leafs team struggling with secondary scoring, Stamkos immediately addresses a need. He is someone who can play both center and wing, slide into the top-six, and provide the scoring punch"
Nashville has struggled early in the season and general manager Barry Trotz has signaled that everything is on the table, prompting speculation around Steven Stamkos as a trade candidate. The Toronto Maple Leafs have lacked consistent secondary scoring and have relied heavily on William Nylander and John Tavares. Stamkos remains a dangerous scorer with an elite shot, high hockey IQ, and consistent production at even strength and on the power play, averaging around 30 goals in recent seasons. He can play both center and wing, bolster the top six, revive a struggling power play with his one-timer, and provide veteran, championship-seasoned leadership.
