The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to take that next step with the franchise and want to not just make the playoffs, but make a deep run.
During the Steve Dangle Podcast they talked about the Leafs having star players like Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, John Tavares and William Nylander. This is a team wanting to win the Stanley Cup with players like these.
Steve Dangle brought up that the Leafs are going to be looking to make some more deals to try improve the team and thinks the Leafs are going to try to aquire John Klingberg from the Dallas Stars who's requested a trade from the Stars.
Many Leafs Insiders believe this is the Leafs best chance and are likely to deal prospects, or trades they might not have done before. There's also Jack Campbell being in his last year of his current contract and no guarantees he will be a member of the Maple Leafs next season.
The Leafs are trying to look at what's available to help with their defensive struggles of late and many believe if the Leafs miss the playoffs or have another early round exit Kyle Dubas will make dramatic changes.
