The Maple Leafs are likely to be active in the trade market before the deadline. While it's clear they're in need of defensive upgrades, there's now a growing interest in adding offensive talent to the team.
Sean Monahan, Adam Henrique, and Alex Wennberg have been identified as potential additions to the Leafs' roster.
With John Klingberg on the long-term injured reserve, the Leafs' GM now has some cap room to maneuver. This opens up possibilities for new acquisitions.
Among the potential targets, Sean Monahan is a strong contender. Securing him from the Montreal Canadiens won't be easy or inexpensive, given his key role in their top six. Yet, his affordable salary of $1,985,000 might make him an attractive option for the Leafs.
