According to information from the reputable Darren Dreger, here is a very interesting trade that was ready to be announced and was cancelled at the last second.
From what we understand, the trade had been approved by both general managers, but a high-ranking official from the Maple Leafs cancelled everything.
In short, here is the trade in question:
Wow, this would have been big! This information resurfaced after we learned that apparently, Brendan Shanahan has been blocking trades concluded by GM Kyle Dubas over the past few years.
«Here's a trade that didn't happen. Chicago and Toronto discussed Hagel and Fleury, with the Leafs, for Mrazek, Matthew Knies, and first-round picks. It never reached a stage where Fleury was officially asked to waive. Toronto declined based on the future contracts involved.»
- Darren Dreger
In the end, Hagel was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning for Taylor Raddysh, Boris Katchouk, and a first-round pick 2024.
Fleury was traded to the Minnesota Wild, as you know, for a 2022 second-round pick.
Mrazek did end up being traded to Chicago, along with a 2022 first-round pick, for a second-round pick.
