In this post, I plan on looking at all of the Atlantic Division teams. I’ll provide a recap on what they have done so far, their weaknesses/strengths heading into the 2018-19 regular season and a grade for their off-season work. Can any of them compete with the Toronto Maple Leafs after they have added John Tavares?
Before I jump into the other teams in the division, I’ll start with the Leafs.
So far this off-season, the Toronto Maple Leafs have fired Lou Lamoriello, promoted Kyle Dubas, drafted Rasmus Sandin with their first round pick, traded Matt Martin to the New York Islanders and brought home the ultimate prize, John Tavares.
