A story just like this was shared in the last few hours.
This is what was supposed to go down:
The General Managers had approve the trade, but in the end, it didn't happen. The official reason is that Toronto would've had issues with their salary cap. But rumors are that Brendan Shanahan intervened.
The Maple Leafs' 2022 playoff run could have been totally different if that trade happened. With Fleury and Hagel, do you think the Leafs would've beaten the Lightning?
