Former Maple Leafs Head Coach Sheldon Keefe has landed with the New Jersey Devils, sparking speculation that the two teams might engage in some trades.
After a disappointing stint in Toronto, Sheldon Keefe was fired at the start of the offseason. Now, he's officially the new Head Coach of the New Jersey Devils.
Much like the departure of Kyle Dubas, rumors are already swirling that Keefe's new team might look to trade with the Maple Leafs. One reporter speculated that the Devils could target Calle Jarnkrok in a deal with Toronto.
I could see NJ asking about Jarnkrok.
Keefe loves him and according to @CF_DepthCharts, Curtis Lazar is their current 3RW which is not ideal.

With the potential trade of Mitch Marner on the horizon, it's unclear if the Leafs will look to move depth pieces like Jarnkrok. However, on paper, a trade with the Devils makes sense. As the offseason progresses, expect plenty of speculation and potential changes for the Maple Leafs, with a deal involving Toronto and New Jersey being one possibility.
Do you think the New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs will make a trade now that Sheldon Keefe is the head coach?
