Maple Leafs target Roman Josi as potential trade candidate

The Toronto Maple Leafs are considering a trade for Roman Josi as they revamp their roster ahead of the new NHL season. General manager John Chayka has hinted at making significant moves following the acquisition of Kirill Marchenko. Josi, in the seventh year of his eight-year contract with Nashville Predators, carries a hefty cap hit of over $9 million. His potential departure hinges on Toronto managing the salary cap and Josi's approval due to his no-movement clause. Nashville's new management under Chris MacFarland may also influence whether they view Josi as a key asset or a trade piece for rebuilding.
