We’re in the final month of trading in the 2016/17 NHL season. The trade deadline is March 1st and by my guess we’re looking at a slower deadline for the Toronto Maple Leafs than we saw last year. The team is on the edge of making the playoffs and does not have many good players who could be considered traditional rental players. In previous years they’ve sent Roman Polak, Daniel Winnik, Olli Jokinen, James Reimer, Daniel Winnik, and others off to contenders or playoff bound teams. Letting those players on expiring deals have a shot at something big before free agency.
