Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos just poured gasoline on the Toronto Maple Leafs rumor mill by floating that Toronto could turn its goalie depth into help elsewhere before the March trade deadline. With Joseph Woll holding the crease and reinforcements coming, Kypreos’ idea is to cash in from a position of surplus to chase a scoring winger or a defenseman.

But when a GM is choosing the hire that could make or break his team’s chances, the temptation to go with an experienced hand who’s been around the league will always be there.
