Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas is in the final year of his contract but isn't prepared to move significant future pieces for short-term help at the upcoming trade deadline.

"There are some players and some draft pick capital that we have that are extremely valuable that we'd be hard-pressed to move on from," Dubas said Thursday.

"I think in regards to rentals, I can't see that happening," Dubas added. "But with regards to other options, I don't think you say no off the hop to anything, but those are very important pieces to us for now and in the future."
