The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost five of six games and are off until Friday when they will play the Calgary Flames in a back-to-back, (at home) and then be off again until the Following Thursday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will only have two games in a ten game period, something which couldn’t come at a better time. Though they can proudly lay claim to one of the best records in the NHL (despite their slump) and take some solace in the fact that they actually played pretty good (for the most part) during their slump, it’s always nice to get a break and recharge when things aren’t going well.

The NHL trade deadline is on April 12th, just under a month away. Though that may seem like a long time, the Leafs will need any players who are acquired from an American team to quarantine for two weeks, and making a move during their current break will allow them to minimize the games missed by any new player.

The following is a Trade Deadline Primer that will cover the Leafs assets, needs, likely moves and potential players who they could acquire. In some cases the players mentioned are part of a trade rumour, but some are just players who I think would be a good fit.

Let’s get to it.
