Now it may be the time for the Toronto Maple Leafs to turn around and cash in on the hard work of the scouting department over the last 18 months.
Bob McKenzie was on TSN 1040 in Vancouver Tuesday morning and had a quick ponder about the Toronto Maple Leafs:
“I think the Toronto Maple Leafs have got all of these assets, young assets, that they might like to parlay into more NHL-ready talent, but young.” (transcribed by Chris Nichols of Today’s Slapshot)
At some point, even now, the Toronto Maple Leafs have to evaluate the long-term goals of this rebuild and take a look at who fits, who doesn’t fit and who could fit from another team.
