<p>What will the Leafs do ahead of Friday’s NHL trade deadline?</p>
<p>The wait continues as 3 PM ET draws closer and closer.</p>
<p>Naturally, we talked trades, trades, and more trades to kick off the Thursday edition of Leafs Morning Take as Jay Rosehill returned to the fold. In a surprise move, Pittsburgh acquired Luke Schenn. That said, it sounds like he could still be flipped, which could bode well for the Maple Leafs. On top of that, the conversation got a bit heated as we dissected what Tampa did yesterday. In case you missed it, they acquired both Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand from Seattle. Ultimately, patience is a virtue. There’s no need to jump to conclusion on what Brad Treliving has or hasn’t done thus far.</p>
<p>Brought to you by <a href="https://www.sobeys.com/en/nhl/">Sobeys</a>, we recapped Toronto’s ugly 5-2 loss in Vegas. Simply put, it wasn’t pretty, so we tried to find some positives. Indisputably, the biggest one was watching Matthew Knies drop the gloves with Zack Whitecloud off the opening draw to avenge a hit from back in November. That kid is such a throwback; it’s wild. Meantime, we also discussed Joseph Woll’s recent struggles. Maybe it’s time to give Anthony Stolarz the bulk of the load? With 20 games remaining, the Leafs are tied in points with the Panthers. This should be a fun ride down the stretch.</p>
<p>After that, thanks to <a href="https://charmdiamondcentres.com/">Charm Diamond Centres</a>, Sportsnet’s Luke Fox joined us from Vegas to dish on the game and the trade deadline. Ultimately, Fox expects a quiet deadline, but at the end of the day, no one really knows how things will play out. For now, all we can do is just sit back and wait in anticipation. One thing we did discuss was Auston Matthews’ comments regarding the deadline prior to last night’s game. Without question, they were strong and should put some level of pressure on management to deliver a boost to the roster.</p>
