The Eastern Conference is stronger than ever, and Kyle Dubas and the Toronto Maple Leafs know they'll have to stock up to be successful.
In comes the St. Louis Blues, who's window has seemingly closed.
Players such as Vladimir Tarasenko and Torrey Krug could very well be on the move, but it is two forwards that have caught Dubas' eye.
Ivan Barbashev and Ryan O'Reilly are at the top of Toronto's trade targets list.
The Leafs could part with Alex Kerfoot and Pierre Engvall to make this move work salary-cap wise, and it would assuredly improve their chances at a deep playoff run
Kyle Dubas had better bite soon though, as this deadline looks to be intense!
