The Toronto Maple Leafs First Resolution

The Toronto Maple Leafs first resolution is also one that they and their fans could get very excited about.

Their first resolution is to make a big splash on the trade market and ameliorate their team by adding a player of significance.

Gone are the days when the Leafs can augment their team for depth and specific skills. This team has more depth than any team in the league, and so only significant upgrades will make a difference. That means that the Leafs can’t just make a trade to improve their team, but they must make one for a star player.

There are a number of players who the Leafs may likely chase. Coach Sheldon Keefe would love to add more scoring to his lineup, after getting shutout offensively in the playoffs year after year.

One area that could use an upgrade is left wing. Calle Jarnkrok has been fine filling in on the second-line, but he’s not who the team wants in their top-six once the Leafs enter the post season.

The team and its fans will be much more comfortable with a name-brand allstar patrolling the left wing.

The NHL trade deadline is March 3. As that date nears, so too does the expectation for the Leafs to make their big move.
