I bet they end up doing minor moves rather than anything impactful because "trades are hard" and "there just wasn't a fit" and "prices didn't align".
Dubas has been the front guy for the North Division in talking about reducing the quarantine time for traded players coming from USA to Canada from 14 days to 7days. He was also seen at the Ottawa/Flames game yesterday.
I think both are interesting points because they came within hours. Maybe he was told "no, we aren't reducing it" and he's redirected his eyes to the bottom teams in the division. On Calgary you have Rittich and Bennett. Ottawa has Dzingel, Paul, and Forsberg.
I honestly don't know who the Leafs are targeting. It's not something I want to spend too much time invested in because Dubas usually surprises me with his moves.

Savard would be a great ad.

This right here would be a Dubas type move. I mean he did just that with Lehner for Vegas last year. Just this year he'd be receiving the player asset.
I personally think there is a ZERO% chance that Robertson is moved. Like OG said above, the value and control of his contract is exactly what the Leafs have to hold on to tightly.
BUT... with their need for D... I guess I'm also speaking out of both sides of my mouth. Why on earth would the Leafs be so quick to move out yet another RHD contract (which they've done more than once in the past) when they're so hard to come by.
Yeah... I guess that's why Dubas gets paid the $$ and just sit here blabbering on while I should be doing my own work. lol
Amirov and a 1st for Tanev. Do it.
I think Dubas is pushing the NHL to push the gov't on the 14day quarantine.
I only heard it on TSN's Overdrive (or could have been SN and Steve Dangle) so I don't know the logistics of it all, but Dubas is leading the Canadian's teams push to reduce that quarantine period
