The Toronto Maple Leafs made a brilliant move in the summer, showing that sometimes it pays to be the smartest team in the room.
While everyone else in the NHL is overtly concerned with perception, the Toronto Maple Leafs admitted what everyone deep down already knows : Goalies are too random to spend money and assets on, and thus it’s better to go cheap in net and spent your money where you can get a better ROI.
So this meant letting Jack Campbell walk. While Dubas took heat from the stuck-in-the-past mainstream media, the Leafs GM kept his mouth shut and let time embarrass his critics, as it always does.
