How aggressive should the Leafs be at the deadline? New Poll Added ... apologies

I wouldn’t do a thing. Save the picks and prospects for the next rebuild which will be coming up soon

Where is the "none of the above - we should have learned from the last 18 times" option?

No doubt but at some point they will have to do a rebuild and the trick will be clearing out this current core
Lots of pain to come

I hate to be my pessimistic Leafs self but I see this team as a mirage. I don't think their position in the standings represents the play I see on ice. Basically, I think they've been lucky. I wouldn't spend any significant assets to "go all in". They need to roll with with they've got. I mean, they already have 4 $11M+ players plus decent goaltending and defense, what more assets do they need? Hard no on my end for going all in. Looks like they need a little defensive depth, that's about it so I picked trading a 2nd rounder in the poll.

I think it's a mirage as well but I think they have no other choice but to go all in because.

2x Contender level tenders.
2x Major contracts expiring.

They may as well throw it all in and if it's a total flop, let JT go or Marner or both and restructure a bit.

All in for the following

A young signed - cost controlled - RFA - C that can play 3rd line this year and in the next season or two move to 2nd line.

A RHD to play with 44 with a contract that goes beyond 2026

A 4th line winger / c to push Dewer out of the line up = Lorentz - Kamph - XXXX

This would be my targets - if I cant do it - I keep my pieces and look for low cost additions with term that can help next year - like the McCabe trade.

Finally - Add what we can to the cap and use a retention spot to secure a few extra pics if possible.

They should sell.the farm for players who have years left on their deals (like McCabe).
