Trade Pitch Has Maple Leafs Adding $17 Million Defenseman in Multi-Player Deal

Uncategorized

The Toronto Maple Leafs have focused on defense and goaltending in the offseason and a trade pitch adds another defenseman to the fold.

 

The website PuckPedia‘s PuckGM tool lets users create their own trades. One user proposed a deal that would see the Maple Leafs acquire Jake Middleton from the Minnesota Wild.

 

 

 

 

Minnesota acquired Middleton on March 21, 2022, along with a 2022 fifth-round draft pick from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Kaapo Kahkonen.

 

 

Since being acquired by the Wild, Middleton has become a star defenseman in the NHL. On July 2, Minnesota announced they signed Middleton to a four-year $17.4 million contract extension that begins in the 2025-26 season and goes through the 2028-29 season.

 

“We’re going to have a bunch of cliché answers here, but we really are excited to spend another five years here. We love the team, we love everything about Minnesota,” Middleton said to the media. “Just couldn’t be happier to get this done.”

 

Minnesota will open its 2024-25 NHL season at home on October 10 against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
