Hindsight is the best. You have all the data at your fingertips, and you know now what you didn't know then. When the Leafs made deadline deals, we guessed at how good or bad they are, now we can take another look and see how they measure up.
The Leafs signed a basket full of free agents last summer with the obvious intent of trading all they could get value for at the deadline. They made fewer trades than a lot of fans expected, but with the exception of the part of the San Jose trades that involved James Reimer, most Leaf fans were happy with the take at the trade deadline.
