Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies might've been the problem in Zach Werenski trade talks

The Toronto Maple Leafs were reportedly involved in trade talks for Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski, but negotiations may have stalled due to complications surrounding forward Matthew Knies. Toronto apparently attempted a creative approach to the deal, though Knies' inclusion or exclusion in the trade discussions appears to have been a sticking point. The specifics of the proposed package and the current status of the talks remain unclear.
