The Toronto Maple Leafs need to add players, including mobile defensemen, to improve their playoff success.
Breakouts on the blue line don't always announce themselves the way forwards do. Instead of sudden scoring spikes, defenders can rack up value quietly through ice time, power-play deployment and underlying physical stats that translate to fantasy points. Not every blueliner breaking into the fray is going to be anything close to a Cale Makar, but spotting when a young defender is ready to step into an expanded role can give you a real edge in drafts.
