After an off-ice rebuild, the Leafs are looking at another long season without playoff hockey.
Toronto Maple Leafs: (30-44-8, 7th in Atlantic Division)
Coach: Mike Babcock (527-285-119 (19 ties); 13th season, first with Toronto)
Key Departures: Phil Kessel, Eric Brewer, David Booth, Colton Orr, Tim Erixon
Key Additions: P.A. Parenteau, Matt Hunwick, Mark Arcobello, Nick Spaling, Daniel Winnik, Shawn Matthias, Curtis Glencross
Key Player: Jonathan Bernier
This selection is essentially by default. Considering the importance of the goaltender position, Bernier takes over the Maple Leafs’ ”Key Player” mantle from Phil Kessel.
