It's safe to say that the Maple Leafs will make trades before the deadline. We know that they need defensive reinforcements, but now, it looks like they could also be interested by adding forwards.
The Leafs, with John Klingberg on the long-term injured reserve, find themselves with some cap flexibility. A trade appears to be a growing possibility.
However, in this tigh financial situation, Monahan's friendly $1,985,000 AAV contract makes him the most likely to land in Toronto.
