Grabovski and MacArthur on the block?
TheFourthPeriod.com

The Toronto Maple Leafs are rumored to have tossed around the names of forwards Clarke MacArthur and Mikhail Grabovski in recent trade discussions, the Ottawa Sun reports.

Grabovski, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July, has been performing well this season, collecting 16 goals and 16 assists for 32 points in 43 games this season.

His value as a second-line centre has gone up to a possible $3 million annual cap hit on a new deal, which has prompted speculation on his future in Toronto.

Meanwhile, MacArthur has been somewhat criticized for his recent lack of offense, after recording 14 goals and 10 assists for 24 points in 42 games with the Leafs this season.

Leafs GM Brian Burke does not buy into the argument that Grabovski and MacArthur aren't contributing enough offense as he believes that need is overstated.

However, the Leafs have an estimated $52.9 million committed to 17 players for the 2012-13 season and could look to unload a few contracts.

The Leafs currently sit in ninth place of the Eastern Conference with a 25-19-5 record, right under the New Jersey Devils with 55 points in a race for a playoff spot.
