Report: Maple Leafs willing to wait on Winnik; want 2 picks or pick and prospect
Christopher Hanewinckel / USA Today
The Toronto Maple Leafs apparently aren't rushing to deal Daniel Winnik after parting with Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli on Sunday.
Winnik is still expected to be moved before the trade deadline, but ESPN's Pierre LeBrun reports Toronto is not close to finding a destination for the 29-year-old forward. According to LeBrun, the Maple Leafs plan on waiting until their asking price - a second and a third-round pick or a second-round pick and a prospect - is met.
Winnik is doing his part to showcase his value with three points in his last three games. He has 23 points in 55 contests with Toronto.
