The strength of the Eastern Conference is incredible, but this Toronto Maple Leafs roster might just be up for the challenge.
Let’s dive into some early thoughts on both of Toronto’s recent trades.
Toronto acquires Jake McCabe, Sam Lafferty, a conditional 5th round pick in 2024 and a conditional 5th round pick in 2025 from Chicago in exchange for a conditional 2025 1st round pick, 2026 2nd round pick, Joey Anderson, and Pavel Gogolev.
This trade essentially boils down to McCabe (with 50% retention) and Lafferty for a first and a second-round pick.
