The NBA Trade Deadline is today and many expect the Toronto Raptors to be sellers. For Leafs fans, it’s just another reminder that the NHL trade deadline is coming up in three weeks and nothing’s happened yet. The time for the Leafs to make an early move is mostly over, as is the all-star weekend and bye week. I can’t help but feel resigned to wait until the first few days of March for us to know the Leafs plans.
According to insiders, the Leafs are looking at everyone. A lot of discussion is on whether the team will get a forward or a defender at the deadline, but the reality is they hope to pull in the best player available at both positions and hope to fit them within the cap space they have left over right now.
