Maple Leafs Need To Address Defense

The Maple Leafs have struggled defensively this season and now lost their most physical and sound defender. If they are going to continue to compete they need to address this. Especially if McCabe is going to be out long term a trade could be necessary.
There are plenty of options on the trade market for the Maple Leafs to add a physical defenseman but they will come at a cost. It will be interesting to see if the Maple Leafs explore the market.
