The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to be making some big trades.
The question is not if the Toronto Maple Leafs make moves, it is when they will make them.
The New York Islanders made a risk-free acquisition of Bo Horvat, and acted early enough that it could make a big difference. Of course all the good they did was ruined by the enormously stupid contract they signed him to, but at least for the rest of this year it was a good move.
Like the Islanders, the Leafs should act early.
Toronto Maple Leafs Should Trade Now
There is some value in waiting for the trade deadline – players may get injured, prices may come down, other teams may decide to sell.
