The trade winds are finally starting to blow across the NHL. With one week to go until American Thanksgiving, general managers have seen enough action to determine whether their roster needs a shake-up.

On defence, the Leafs are caught flat-footed often and are giving up too many odd-man rushes.

They’re not moving their feet, they’re getting beaten cleanly to pucks both ways and look a step behind all over the ice.

He arrived in time to play a part in the team’s 3-2 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues Tuesday night.
