The Toronto Maple Leafs haven’t been shy at trading for former players in the past and that could happen once again at this year’s NHL Trade Deadline.
The most famous re-return at the NHL Trade Deadline in Toronto Maple Leafs history has to be Doug Gilmour. After spending six seasons with the team in the early-to-mid 1990s, Gilmour was one of (and still is) the biggest fan-favorites in team history.
During Gilmour’s first run in Toronto, the team made it to back-to-back Conference Finals, coming ever so close to their first Stanley Cup appearance since 1967.
