Which Leafs will end up where?


The trade deadline is March 3rd and Maple Leaf fans across the country and around the globe have started talking up a storm about who could go where and who we can get in return as they seem to do every season at the deadline. 

This season has a little different twist then previous years since the lockout as Brian Burke tries his best to continue to steer this franchise in the right direction, after Burke pulled off the Kessel trade earlier this season and the Phaneuf trade earlier this year, Maple Leaf fans await to see what will the Leafs GM do next? 

I have decided to take a look at the Leafs who look to be headed out of town and their chance of being traded and what we might expect in return.

These seem to be the main names being batted around when it comes to Toronto Maple Leafs players heading out of town but who knows who else could be on their way out and who might actually stay but one thing is for certain, there will be players heading out of town and the most excitement is seeing who we get back.
