What will the Leafs Do? Trade Deadline Insights with Mike Augello

Ladies Talkin’ Leafs

Welcome to March and the trade deadline edition of the show! What will the Leafs do, will they do anything? Its a fun time for us fans - for the players maybe not so much!

But before we get into all the NHL Trade Deadline talk, its time for another instalment of the Good the Bad and the Ugly, where we celebrate a wily vet, and a young gun who is finally coming in to his own. Not too much in the negative column for the Leafs these days, but with another key injury, as well as a lack lustre performance from one of our stars, we still had plenty to talk about. This turned into quite the fiery debate!

Then we turn our attention to the Trade Deadline as we welcome back our LTL Insider Mike Augello to help break it down for us. GM Brad Treliving may have tried to poured cold water on fan's expectations, but that will never stop the endless speculation. We discuss all the possibilities, the absurd trade prices, and specific players in the mix, including a couple named Schenn. We also touch on the Mikko Rantanen situation and the effects his initial trade had on the market leading up to the deadline. Mike also shares his new venture hockeyhotstove.com with us, so be sure to check it out. It will have lots of NHL content, and of course our Leafs are sure to figure prominently!

Lastly, we take a look ahead at the Leafs road trip which will conclude with their first visit vs the Utah Hockey Club.

Its always a little bittersweet as we approach the deadline knowing that our team could look quite different next week. While we welcome the new players, we say goodbye to others, grateful for their contribution, all with the hopes that this new complement will be just what we need to get over the top.

Enjoy the drama of deadline day folks! Go Leafs Go!
