The Toronto Maple Leafs are undergoing a transformation. The club is clearly moving away from the Brian Burke and Dave Nonis era. An era that saw little success by attempting to build a roster that wouldn't shy away from physical play and where puck possession was not a priority.
Under Brendan Shanahan, the team has embraced advanced analytics, and with the hiring of former Detroit Red Wings head coach Mike Babock, expect a new type of prototypical player in Toronto who is smart, mobile and able to make good decisions under pressure.
The club will be looking to upgrade at all positions.
