The Toronto Maple Leafs have gotten depth scoring and good play from many of their bottom six this season, but none other sticks out more than Scott Laughton.

Before this most recent part of the season, many claimed that the Maple Leafs lost that deal, sending a first-round pick and prospect Nikita Gr

Max Domi has found a home in the Maple Leafs lineup, building chemistry alongside Auston Matthews on the first line. The connection paid off during Saturday night’s contest, as the two were responsible for the game-winning goal in overtime.

Saturday night could very well have been Rasmus Andersson's last game in the Scotiabank Saddledome as a Calgary Flames defenseman. The Maple Leafs were considered to be one of the front-runners in the Andersson sweepstakes, but have seemed to have lost traction in acquiring the star defenceman. Saturday night was an emotional one for Andersson, to say the least. Following a 4-2 win over the Islanders, he saluted the crowd and waited for all of his teammates to clear the ice.

John Tavares has had an up-and-down season with the Maple Leafs. He re-signed during the offseason on a very team-friendly deal at just $4.3M per season. This instantly became one of the most valued contracts in the NHL.

Tavares is trusted by and valued differently by the Maple Leafs management th

Alexis Lafrenière’s career in the Big Apple has been underwhelming, as he has yet to develop into the star many projected him to be when he was selected first overall. This season, in particular, has been a challenge for Lafrenière. Through 47 games, he has recorded just nine goals, and the Rangers have made it clear they need more from him. That frustration has shown in his recent demotion to the third line, a situation that could create an opportunity for the Maple Leafs to

Brad Treliving and the Toronto Maple Leafs staff will need to act quickly if they want to bring in a serious defenceman. Dougie Hamilton will be on his way out to New Jersey in the near future.

Moldenhauer has seen the most progression in his junior year at Michigan, and with his senior year coming next, we could see a lot more signs of development. A more
