The Toronto Maple Leafs have way too many good forwards right now and that’s not the recipe to win a Stanley Cup.
Although it’s great to have a lot of goal scorers, history would suggest that if the Toronto Maple Leafs continue to operate this way, they will not have playoff success, but what else is new?
Last season, the Leafs had four 30-plus goal-scorers, including two players who scored 40-plus. Any team in the NHL would love to have Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander and John Tavares, but you really don’t need all four of them to win a Stanley Cup.
