The Toronto Maple Leafs next GM needs to change this team into a faster, younger version of itself.
The Toronto Maple Leafs next GM – which names coming up (Mike Gillis, Jim Nill) seem to get stupider every day this thing drags on – has to lean into the youth this team has on the farm, and get back to being a fast team.
The Leafs lost their identity when they got slow.
They couldn’t score, and considering they used to be a run-and-gun team built around offense, whatever they became didn’t really make any sense.
