Toronto Maple Leafs

[ArgoRavi]

Freddie Andersen has certainly been saving the Leafs' bacon lately, but they are playing fairly well since Andersen voiced his displeasure a few weeks ago. I would be reluctant to rock the boat at the trade deadline. JVR isn't going to be brought back next year, but you won't get much in return for a "rental." He still contributes positively to the team.

I don't see the Leafs presently being good enough to be a contender this year. Just stay the course and don't do anything stupid at this point. Yes, the Islanders won a Stanley Cup by adding Butch Goring almost 40 years ago at the trade deadline but those kinds of moves do not work much more often than not. Further, the Islanders really were just a piece away from winning it all back then.

Agreed, perhaps make a minor move or two, but leave it mostly as is and see where the chips fall in the playoffs.
