The Avalanche host the Maple Leafs after each team made big moves at the trade deadline, including Toronto acquiring Scott Laughton.

Pulling off this type of deadline deal, however, would likely involve moving a first-round pick, top prospects and possibly a roster player such as Nick Robertson or Max Domi, as Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman said while appearing on "Leafs Morning Take" on Tuesday.

The Colorado Avalanche made a big splash on the eve of the NHL trade deadline late Thursday night by getting center Brock Nelson from the New York Islanders.
