Toronto Maple Leafs are striking the balance.
To the critically-thinking Toronto Maple Leafs fan, two things should become abundantly clear when considering GM Kyle Dubas’ moves this offseason: 1) The Leafs are firmly in a “win now” mode, and 2) The Leafs are wisely set up for both for the immediate and distant futures.
While it may seem like a broad and no-brainer of a topic, because of course Dubas wants to win now and prep for the future, it’s not something that’s ever been done by a GM in this league, successfully at least.
