The defense of the Toronto Maple Leafs has been the team’s biggest question mark since the current NHL season began.
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving didn’t risk giving up prospects or draft capital for a top 4 defenseman at the NHL trade deadline. Instead, he acquired Ilya Lyubushkin and Joel Edmundson. Players that add a physical element, but are not top defenders on a championship-caliber team.
