## Resource

The Toronto Maple Leafs were reportedly on the verge of trading Matthew Knies to the Montreal Canadiens at last season’s deadline — a blockbuster deal sending KHL Rookie of the Year Alexander Zharovsky and two first-round picks to Toronto. But last-minute complications derailed it, sparing the Leafs from a potential franchise-altering rebuild. Under new leadership, the team remains open to trades — except for Auston Matthews — and this near-miss highlights how close the Leafs came to a seismic shift that could’ve sent stars packing.
