Sheldon Keefe with a very coachy reply to what his trade deadline wish is
After Saturday night's trade that sent Ilya Lyubushkin to the Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe was asked about his trade deadline wish for the blue and white. Needless to say, Keefe is not about getting ahead of himself, even a little bit.
We saw in the All or Nothing series that Keefe has both a nasty and snarky side to him. This answer was definitely more on the snarky side. The Leafs' bench boss definitely has a trade deadline wish list and based on some of the comments that he's made recently - it can easily be distinguished what Keefe wants on his team. That being said Keefe doesn't want to give away the Leafs' trade deadline plans.
The trade deadline is March 21st, exactly a month from today. There is plenty of time for the Leafs to evaluate their wish list and for fans and media to speculate what is on it.
What the focus is now is tonight's game against the Habs. A game which Keefe is looking for a solid 60 minute performance out of the Leafs. Building Stanley Cup habits is of the utmost importance right now. The boys have 34 games remaining with which to do so.
