The Toronto Maple Leafs have a several problems that are pretty obvious: an old, unphysical blue-line with little upside, a ton of injuries and no depth or elite players anyways.
In addition, the Toronto Maple Leafs GM has been a disaster, their President didn’t spend any time searching for a new GM even though the change was a completely on-the-fly spur-of-the-moment type thing, and the coach is getting no help since the bottom-six is populated with 2 x one-dimensional players, a PTO, and an enforcer that make it really hard to create a workable lineup.
