The Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t do as much as expected at the 2017 NHL Trade Deadline.

In this weeks roundtable we grade the Toronto Maple Leafs deadline.

Here’s what a quick poll on Twitter had to say:

Not everyone was impressed. Let’s get into the staff thoughts.

James Tanner

Grade: C-

I rate the Leafs deadline a C-. I like the Boyle add, but otherwise it’s a disappointment.

The Toronto Maple Leafs needed a power forward, a defensive forward, and defensive defenseman that can actually play.

They went 0/3.  I’d give it an F but improving now is optional given the timeline of the rebuild, and I do like Boyle.
