It’s about this time every year that hockey fans pay close attention to their own squad’s deficiencies and look for them to upgrade while fantasizing about underpaying for a trade to do it. The same is true about the Toronto Maple Leafs whose recent needs have been created from injuries.

Andreas Johnsson who has been named a potential trade chip for the Leafs appears to now be safe from being moved.
