I disagree. If anything now is the perfect time to see if Hakanpaa can be a contributor for this team this season and in the playoffs. If it turns out he can’t or he gets injured again the Leafs can pivot and address the need at the TDL.
They already had a young dman that got sacrificed at the lowest return he better turn out
 
Seeing that he's back skating again ... If he magically becomes healthy, I think we can focus all of our assets on a C rather than having to spend on both an RHD and a C.

Definitely need a C regardless.

A RD would be amazing as well. Would love someone like Adam Pelech in a bigger deal


Rielly - Pelech
OEL - Tanev
Benoit - McCabe

Stolarz
Woll
 
We don't have the assets to get both a C and Pelech. We barely have the assets to get Pelech alone.
We have assets if they really want to go for it.

Minten for Laughton
Cowan, 1st, 2nd for Pelech.

The bigger problem is getting a team like NY to agree and making the cap space work.

two vomit inducing trade proposals
Adding a good center and a top 3 D, makes the leafs the favourites to win the cup imo. I think it will very hard to do with the cap, but technically it's possible. In that scenario, who's a better team than the Leafs!? We're already 1st place in the hardest division. Adding two impact players puts them over the top. There is no better time than now to go all in.

LEAFS NEED TO GO ALL IN THIS IS IT
 
You don’t trade Minten. He’s really impressed me and is a smart two way guy who will wear an ‘A’ as a leaf for many years

Just a note, I don't want to trade Minten. I was just making a point to that poster who said "we don't have the assets to make a trade" that we do have the assets, if they decide to go that route.

It would be insane to not do everything possibly to try to win this season. There may not be a better opportunity than this season.

Nitpicking but this is not the hardest division anymore. Leafs are on pace for 108 pts, Panthers for 100. In seasons past, Leafs did not win the division with 115 points. This is a weak division. But other than that, I agree with you.
