LeBrun: Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas on his needs and priorities ahead of the trade deadline - The Athletic

One wonders, as the Toronto Maple Leafs keep piling up wins, whether they actually, really, need to make any moves before Monday’s trade deadline.

I mean, they’re winning at a .705 clip.

There’s been a sense all along that Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas is eager to add, that his team is all-in. But I look at a first-place team humming along, looking like a close-knit family, and it gives me pause.

Does Dubas really need to do anything else?

I think of the way they rebounded from that embarrassing overtime loss to the Senators earlier this season, up 5-1 only to lose 6-5. Or how they’ve come back from that early March stumble when they lost six-of-seven.

They’re resilient. They have found ways to win in different fashions. They’re more comfortable in low-event games this season.
