Last season, the Toronto Maple Leafs made a concerted effort to bolster their roster by exploring potential trades for both Rasmus Andersson of the Calgary Flames and veteran forward Brayden Schenn. The discussions highlighted the Maple Leafs' desire to enhance their defensive capabilities and add seasoned leadership to their lineup.

Andersson, a young defenseman known for his strong two-way play, has been a key figure for the Flames. His ability to move the puck and contribute offensively made him an appealing target for the Maple Leafs, who needed depth on the blue line amid their playoff aspirations.

In parallel, Schenn's experience and physical style of play would have added grit and veteran presence to the Maple Leafs’ forward group. As a seasoned player with a history of playoff success, Schenn was seen as a crucial addition to help the team navigate the pressures of a championship run. However, despite these ambitious pursuits, the trades did not materialize, leaving the Maple Leafs to continue searching for ways to strengthen their roster as they aimed for playoff success.

The Maple Leafs’ attempts at acquiring both Andersson and Schenn reflect their commitment to building a competitive team. As the season continues, fans are left speculating on potential trade avenues and roster adjustments that could be made to reach their ultimate goal of securing another Stanley Cup championship.
