The Toronto Maple Leafs are apparently eyeing St. Louis Blues forward Brad Boyes in a potential trade, Canoe.ca reports, and the guys who might be headed out of town are John Mitchell and Tyler Bozak. We've heard rumors of a potential Boyes trade before, and the Leafs have been seeking a top-six forward for a while. So it all seems to make sense, at least on the surface.
One problem, however, might be the money: Boyes makes $4 million for the next two seasons, and the Leafs have just barely too much on the payroll to add Boyes right now. That could change in a few weeks.
In addition, the Leafs might want to pursue someone like Brad Richards next summer, and adding a $4 million cap hit now might be detrimental to that goal.
