Do the Leafs even make any moves at TD?

Last year the Leafs even surprised management and played better than anyone really expected. This year they are playoff bound but teams like Tampa Bay, Boston, Washington and Pittsburgh look to add since they will feel their chances are as good or better than ours. It won't be easy for a team full of very young players and some past their prime veterans to beat them. Andersen is this year's MVP to date and will have to be in the playoffs as well. Toronto had a hole on defense, especially when Zaitsev, then Reilly and finally Hainsey went down. This forced the emergence of defenseman Dermott who has played well indeed. If everyone is healthy defense is no longer the concern it was prior but wouldn't a top 4 rental D be nice ? Too bad everyone is thinking that. So, where does that leave Toronto's hole? Babcock said himself  "There is never enough!" Last year Lou picked up big Center Boyle from Tampa for a 2nd rounder. This year that will be harder to find and it will be of dubious usage. Toronto will be keeping its 3 UFA's as is. So in essence, they have 3 rentals already.

The Leafs do have some holes in the organization and players such as Martin, Bozak and Komorov are declining and will need replacement as may JVR. The good news is Toronto is flush with wingers in its system. Kapanen,Johnson, Grundstrom and perhaps Korshkov and Bracco can help replace some of what will be lost. So will a first rounder and 2- 2nd rounders this June. The best move may be the one we never make, this year.
