The Toronto Maple Leafs have one of the most stacked forward groups in the NHL, and with the talent to make a run, the time may be now for them to chase the Stanley Cup that has eluded them for almost 60 years.

Darren Dreger believes the Toronto Maple Leafs are ready to go all in

If you thought that was just the perception from fans, you would be wrong, as TSN's Darren Dreger has now talked about the Maple Leafs, revealing that he believes they are ready to go all-in in 2023-24.

I've been firm on this being the all-in year for the Leafs.

If that is the case, you need to look no further than their struggling blue line to see where this team could use some major improvements, and with plenty of young assets, it may be time for them to make some huge moves.

What will we see out of the Toronto Maple Leafs ahead of the March 8 deadline?

For weeks now we've seen the Maple Leafs linked to the Calgary Flames and other teams as trade partners, and with the likes of Chris Tanev, Noah Hanifin and Jacob Markstrom potentially available, it makes perfect sense.

No matter who Toronto deal with, this is a team that has the offense to win some big playoff games, so if they can add to the blue line and potentially in net, this is a team that could go all the way.

Leafs fans may not want to get their hopes up again after the years of disappointment, but with two more big contracts signed in the past few months, they're as flexible as they will be with the salary cap for quite some time, so expect them to go all-in chasing a Stanley Cup.
