As the NHL trade deadline on March 7 approaches, the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to improve their roster. TSN’s Chris Johnston reported that the Leafs will be motivated buyers.
Speaking on the "First UP 1050" podcast, Johnston said that the Leafs have been looking for a center for months. They have enough picks and prospects to make a trade.
“They’ll be among the pretty motivated buyers out there, coming to March 7," Johnston said on Tuesday, via Leafslatest. "They don’t have their 1st round pick this year, so they don’t have a full cupboard completely, but I do think they have enough in terms of picks and prospects to make some additions that can help them for the playoff run.”
