Insiders putting word out the past couple days that Leafs are not going to be a buyer this year. Johnston on his podcast thinks they're standing pat because they are cap strapped, (gave out NMC to Bertuzzi and M-NTC to Domi) asset poor, and having a mediocre year anyway.

Friedman made similar comments today on 32 thoughts saying the Leafs are starting to think long term and not so much about this year.

Only mentioning this because they keep being brought up here as a suitor for Tanev or one of our goalies. Doesn't seem likely. Remember they couldn't even match Vancouver's modest offer for Zadorov and wanted retention. They really can't do anything and Treliving doesn't utilize the deadline anyway.
