Looking for a deeper playoff run next season, the Maple Leafs may consider bolstering their roster with last-minute acquisitions before the trade deadline.
At 33, defenseman Chris Tanev is currently with the Flames and could be on Treliving's radar. He has often emphasized the need for strengthening his team's defense. Tanev could fit the bill, offering qualities similar to what Luke Schenn provided in the previous playoffs.
Backup Plan for the Goalies
Hellebuyck
If the Leafs find themselves without reliable options in goalkeepers Ilya Samsonov or Joseph Woll—a situation that seems unlikely—Connor Hellebuyck would be an ideal fallback. The financial cost would be steep, but they would gain a top-tier goalie capable of leading the team deep in the playoffs.
