This team has struggled with being consistent throughout the last few seasons, despite the record. At the time of this writing, the Leafs sit 3rd in the Atlantic Division with 91 points (currently sitting just 4 points back of Boston, relax Leafs Nation) and overall sit 5th in the NHL.
So what does that have to do with the teams struggles? Well its many factors. There are many people who help run this franchise everyday to make it successful, past and present.
For this particular piece, I’m going to focus on mainly 3. I’ll be looking at head coach Mike Babcock, former Leafs General Manager Lou Lamoirello, and current GM Kyle Dubas.
