As we saw this past April, the team’s blue-line (outside of Morgan Rielly and Jake Muzzin) has been very shaky to say the least. The Leafs were dealing with injuries (i.e. Jake Gardiner and Travis Dermott and lack of experience (i.e. Justin Holl and Igor Ozhiganov). But, even when Gardiner and Dermott were healthy, it was evident that the Leafs needed an upgrade or two.
This off-season will likely be a busy one for Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas. One of his priorities is probably to address his defensive unit.
