Updated Leafs Trade Deadline Moves

Team: 2022-23 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 14, 2023

Published: Feb. 15, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Now that we're only a little over 2 weeks away from the Trade Deadline at the time of me making this post I wanted to make an updated Armchair GM on what I believe the Leafs might do at the deadline!

The ability to resign players in the Off-Season is the main concern I have with this trade, but I wanted to see what a possible Trade Deadline could look like if they bought in Jakob Chychrun as the main piece. I ran into the issue where I thought they needed to bring in a Top 6 Forward but there wasn't much left to get it done with.... cap space became an issue too.....

The way I justified it logically though is the Leafs in this scenario either get a deep Playoff run (Conference Finals at minimum) or they trade a core forward during the off-season which they would do regardless if they had ANOTHER 1st round exit.
