With just 10 days until the trade deadline, the Toronto Maple Leafs are a key focus in ongoing NHL discussions. While their deadline approach is a major storyline, they also have two significant pending unrestricted free agents to consider—John Tavares and Mitch Marner.

The NHL trade deadline is a little over a week away and the Maple Leafs seem poised to add. But without any highly sought-after roster pieces, it’s possible the Leafs dip into their prospect pool to deal for help at centre and on the blue line.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a team that has limited cap space and a prospect system without more than one ‘blue chip’ prospect. They are also a team that will be heavily monitored over the next week and a half with a load of external pressure to make an upgrade at the trade deadline.
