What Does a Dream Trade Deadline Look Like for the Toronto Maple Leafs?

Left Winger

OK, I admit the Leafs are not likely to add four stars to their team heading into the playoffs.

But they should. None of these deals are impossible to make, and there is hard proof that in a cap league, nothing but stars matter.

The Leafs need some help on the left-wing and so the final addition to the dream team here is Pavel Buchnevich.

Buchnevich is on pace for his 3rd straight 30 goal season, and he's a low-key star player that would make a huge difference in the Leafs lineup.

No offense to Matt Knies and his extremely bright future, but he's not getting it done on the top line this year. Buchnevich would be a massive upgrade.

The Blues are not likely to make the playoffs, and Buchnevich could be a player they move to recoup some assets for a future run.

The cost would be high, but again, the rewards here are potentially so high that the risk is easily worth it.

So how do the Leafs go all-in and achieve this dream scenario? Let's look into it.
