The 2017 NHL Trade Deadline has passed and the Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t do anything to hurt their long-term plan. It’s now time to focus in on the rest of the 2016-17 season, looking ahead to their playoff push. The race is tight, very tight.

Like I said, the race is tight. Too tight for my liking and much of the Leafs fan base. Not to mention that the Leafs organization is feeling the same way. With the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators stretching their legs a bit, the quest to finish in a top three Atlantic spot seems tougher with each loss.
