Toronto Maple Leafs: 3 Call-Ups Who Can Make An Impact in the Playoffs

We may be past the NHL Trade Deadline, but the Toronto Maple Leafs could still make a few moves which will impact their playoff roster.

It’s no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs are all-in this year.

For such a decorated franchise, the team hasn’t advanced out of the First Round since 2004, so the executive team has done everything possible to change that this year.

If you look through the Leafs roster at the moment, there aren’t too many flaws. They addressed their depth in the bottom-six and defensively at the NHL Trade Deadline this year and seem sold in-net, now that Matt Murray is healthy.

This is their best overall roster in the Auston Matthews era, so there’s no reason to believe that they can’t finally win a playoff series this year. However, this is the Leafs we’re talking about. Whenever you seem a glimpse of hope with this franchise, they break your heart like your middle-school crush.

I don’t believe in curses, but others believe this team is cursed and are doomed for failure once again. Personally, I think it’s a string of bad-luck and if you continue to put yourself in the dance year-after-year, Cinderella will eventually dance with you.

But, as we look this year’s playoff roster, the team may not be finished with tweaking their squad. Whether it’s through the NCAA or the Toronto Marlies, there may be a player or two who gets called up for the playoff-run.

Here are three players you may see when Game 1 starts in a few weeks.
