Just about everything feels up in the air in Toronto — from the future of management to the head coach to the team’s best players. Whoever is running the Maple Leafs going forward can’t possibly run this core back again. ✍️ jonassiegel
also didn’t work out. The defence as a whole wasn’t strong enough up top even with Dubas stockpiling depth. And sticking with Tavares as the No. 2 centre, at age 32, for another year was a mistake.
Keefe excels, in part, because of his creativity and willingness to try things. But that can also lead to overcoaching. Like, removing, a 40-goal scorer during the regular season, from his long-time spot on the No. 1 power-play unit days before the start of the postseason. Keefe was supposed to take the Leafs where Mike Babcock could not. With more talented teams, he reached only the second round – once.What becomes of that core, meanwhile, whether Dubas stays or goes?
Where do the Leafs go now with Tavares, meanwhile, who has two years left on his contract? If there’s a star to be moved it should be the soon-to-be 33-year-old. The Leafs were outshot, out-chanced, and outscored when he was on the ice at five-on-five in the playoffs. That soon-to-be 33-year-old also has a no-movement clause in his contract – and a gigantic $11 million cap hit at that.Speaking of which, now might be the time the Leafs have to consider a change in that department.
What of Nylander after all this? Like Matthews, he’s eligible for an extension this summer. Does he want to sign it? Do the Leafs? Do they trade him if the answer to either question is no? Nylander scored the biggest goal of his Leafs career in Game 5. He also had familiar lapses in engagement and judgment that cost the Leafs.Marner came on late in Games 4 and 5 against the Panthers and ended up with 14 points in the playoffs.
