With the NHL trade deadline passed, teams are showing the impacts of their acquisitions as they gear up for playoff runs. The Toronto Maple Leafs were particularly active, securing Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo, both of whom have begun to settle into their new roles. Laughton, expected to provide depth at center, has struggled offensively, going pointless in eight games and sporting a -5 rating. Meanwhile, Carlo has thrived defensively and adds experience from his tenure with the Boston Bruins. His strong penalty-killing play has bolstered Toronto's defense as they aim for postseason success.
