Leafs Shopping Breakout D-Man Benoit

Teams like the Oilers see him as a budget Ekholm type - tough, physical, and reliable without the flash - while Toronto weighs selling high amid their defensive crunch. With the deadline looming post-Olympic break, Benoit's emergence tests whether the Leafs prioritize cap flexibility or blue-line depth in a season slipping away.
