There's only about 150 hours until the trade deadline and the interns can take home the leftover pizza from the Sportsnet studio. Yesterday was busy with The [Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) making their second trade in two days, and other trades and rumours of trades, were flying around the league.

We'll have a preview of tonight's Maple Leafs @ Predators game up this afternoon.
