The NHL trade deadline is five days from today, and my bold prediction is that the Leafs will do nothing exciting.
So Far
The Leafs have made one NHL trade so far, and they netted Jake Muzzin for this year’s first-round pick and two prospects of note. The Leafs don’t feel like the sort of team that spends the first-rounder and then worries about how it will look that they don’t have one. I’m not sure Kyle Dubas worries about how anything looks to outsiders, so I don’t think they’ll make any effort to replace that pick.
