The Toronto Maple Leafs are a completely different team heading into 2019-20 than they were mere months ago. This is probably the largest turnover of names and numbers on Leaf jerseys that we have seen in a very long time.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect is that many of these names aren’t merely depth pieces and likely will play a very important role in the Toronto Maple Leafs coming season.
One of the more contentious names to be added to the list is that of former Ottawa Senator defenceman, Cody Ceci. Ceci was to the Ottawa Senators what Nikita Zaitsev was to the Maple Leafs, the poster boy for defensive inadequacy.
