The NHL trade deadline is a little over a week away and the Maple Leafs seem poised to add. But without any highly sought-after roster pieces, it’s possible the Leafs dip into their prospect pool to deal for help at centre and on the blue line.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the top teams in the NHL but one analyst calls them to trade top forward Matthew Knies.

With the 4 Nations Face-Off now complete, the trade deadline looms large and is just a few weeks away. Where does each team stand, and what moves should they be looking to make?

We’re looking only at assets the Leafs could conceivably move ahead of the March 7 trade deadline, not the ones we know aren’t going anywhere. We’ve bunched them into five tiers — from the assets that figure to have the most value (tier 1) to those with the least (tier 5).

The Leafs have pushed their chips in over the last few years, cashing in valuable draft capital to round out their NHL roster in an effort to go on a long playoff run.
