According to Elliotte Friedman, the team aren't sitting back and waiting for the issues to fix themselves, as they are reportedly eyeing two massive defensemen from a Canadian rival.
With the Flames eyeing a potential re-tool and the Maple Leafs looking to go all in, this move could make sense for both teams, with Toronto giving up a prospect or two and a first-round pick in any potential deal.
While neither Tanev nor Zadorov are considered stars in the NHL, they both play the way Toronto need their blue line to play, as they bring intelligence, physicality and toughness to a defense that's now missing several pieces.
Ultimately, a deal isn't likely to come in the next few weeks as Calgary figure out how their season will unfold, but if they do look to unload some pieces ahead of the trade deadline, Brad Treliving should be the first person to call his former team.
