Toronto Maple Leafs Rumors: The Deals That Didn’t Happen
The Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t do much at the trade deadline, but they were apparently involved in more talks.

Jason Garrison would have been a poor move by Lou Lamoriello. He simply doesn’t meet the value on the ice to match the perception he has off the ice. Such is the case with a lot of players.
Cody Franson, though, wouldn’t have been a bad pickup at all. It’s irony at its best.
