Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!
With the 2022 NHL trade deadline approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to go over all of the moves the Leafs have made this season so far. Maybe it will give us some insight to what GM Kyle Dubas is thinking, maybe it won’t. Maybe it will fill out my character requirements, who knows?
These are Maple Leafs moves only, yes I know Josh Ho-Sang got a PTO but he’s a Marlie.

There we go. What we see is a focus on defense, which was the Leafs biggest flaw last year. Most of the free agents are on the Marlies right now. They’ve traded away two of those signings as well and boy I forgot how expensive Ritchie was. Yeesh.
When will we add more to this list? The trade deadline is just under a month away (March 21st) so hopefully we get a big move or two.
Elsewhere in Leafs land...
Ugh, a loss.
Hey, the new guy!
Poor Muzzin.
JT Miller?

It’s chaos all the time!
And other stuff, you know, that you’ll post in the comments.
No game today (thankfully) so check out some live streams from your local municipal council / boards. Sometimes they’re a real hoot.
Enjoy your day!
