Leafs GM Brad Treliving presented the perfect trade proposal to solve all of his problems

Over the course of the first few months of the NHL season, it has become crystal clear that the Maple Leafs need a first-line right-winger and a puck-moving defenseman.

There is pressure on Leafs general manager Brad Treliving to get this done, especially when you think about how the Leafs are not currently in a playoff spot.

Interestingly enough, the Maple Leafs have a rival in the Atlantic Division who has exactly what they need on both fronts.

In fact, one fan on social media has cooked up a blockbuster trade proposal that would help Treliving kill two birds with one stone.

This account believes the Leafs could acquire Alex Tuch and Bowen Byram of the Buffalo Sabres in one fell swoop. However, it would take Anthony Stolarz, Nick Robertson, Max Domi, Calle Jarnkrok, and a draft pick.

Realistically, this is not a trade that the Sabres would. Besides Stolarz, none of these players is particularly valuable, except maybe Robertson.

However, the Leafs would love this. Tuch has 24 points in 28 games this season, while Bowen Byram has 13 points.

At the end of the day, Leafs fans can only hope that they get a deal as good as this. Unfortunately, that is not how the real world works.

If the Sabres did something like this, it would be absolute malpractice, and their fans would be right to be very upset.
