We’ll also cover possible trade assets the Leafs could leverage ahead of next Monday’s 3 p.m. EST deadline. Without further ado, let’s get to it.
Toronto’s Deadline Plans
Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren will not be traded for a rental. Unless Artemi Panarin, Mark Stone, or Matt Duchene is headed to Toronto, this seems rather obvious. Since there is absolutely no need for a right winger, the focus moves to the left side.
I have little interest in Micheal Ferland or Wayne Simmonds, as the cost seems bound to outweigh the reward.
