Sometimes I google player names just to see what happens. Other times I pick a date and look to see if the Leafs made a trade then. Last night I thought I’d check out preseason trades the Leafs have made, and found something odd.
The 1999-2000 NHL season began on October 1st, 1999 and between games one and nine the Maple Leafs made four trades. Four trades in four weeks, after they had spent three weeks building the team in training camp.
The 1999-2000 roster didn’t really need a lot of tinkering to start with.
