The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking at selling at the trade deadline, that much is inevitable at this point after their dreadful performances in Florida coming out of the Olympic break. And while pending UFAs are definitely on the table, and many of them surely to be moved, another area of the team that GM Brad Treliving could (should?) deal from is in goal. The team has three legit NHL goaltenders. One of them could bring back some nice assets for a team desperately in need of re-stocki...

[Ed. Note. After this was published Steven Stamkos himself clarified the situation by stating that there was ...
