Maple Leafs among teams talking trade with Golden Knights

George McPhee decided to make some exceptions.

With as many as six trades already in place, the Vegas Golden Knights extended the general manager's Monday deadline to negotiate with his colleagues.

Among the teams he's still talking to is the Toronto Maple Leafs after GM Lou Lamoriello experienced travel issues on the way to Nevada, per Chris Johnston of Sportsnet.

The nature of the deal is not known; some teams seem set on paying a premium to retain players exposed for expansion draft purposes, while others could be working out a deal for a selected player to be flipped.

McPhee has confirmed that some of the picks revealed Wednesday will be officially traded Thursday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
