Florida Panthers: Possible trades that could be made to improve the roster
Toronto Maple Leafs – James van Riemsdyk
The Maple Leafs are currently shopping van Riemsdyk as he is playing on his final year of his contract and will most likely head into free agency. The Panthers could certainly benefit from acquiring van Riemsdyk and should be negotiating with Toronto at this very moment.
Like most players being shopped at this time of year, van Riemsdyk is heading towards the final year of his contract, and the Panthers would need to sign him to a contract extension if they were to acquire him. The Cats may hold off on van Riemsdyk simply because he may demand a huge long term contract. However, if the Cats want to improve and get better, they will need to shell out the money as van Riemsdyk would be an excellent addition towards the second line.
