The Toronto Maple Leafs seem to be having a new problem come into play, as their goaltending has gone ice-cold. Jack Campbell started out the year as a solid option for the Leafs, and he even earned his first All-Star appearance after posting a .918 SV% up to that point. Now, his save percentage has dropped all the way down to below .900, and it seems that the Leafs will likely be looking for a new goaltending option at the trade deadline.

This is where Marc-Andre Fleury comes in. The veteran goaltender is having a solid season despite playing on an underperforming Chicago Blackhawks team. There is no doubt that he would love to be traded to a contender for another chance at a Stanley Cup run.

Fleury currently carries a salary cap hit of $7 million, so the money could be tight for the Leafs trying to fit him into the mix. Although, it seems likely that he would be a great fit on a team looking to take that next step in the playoffs.

The Maple Leafs already have the firepower of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, and John Tavares, as well as Morgan Reilly on the back end. Adding Fleury into the mix might just push them over the top.
