This is one of the best Leafs AGMs that I've come across. And I think your description perfectly sums up where the leafs are right now. We're in good shape.
Like your take on how Dubas sees Willy as a core piece. Everything he's shared publicly on Nylander points to Dubas seeing him as a long term leaf - and likely riding shotgun to AM while Marner does the same with JT. Throw in the emergence of Rielly as a legit Norris contender and Freddy continuing to be steady, and that's a core that will compete for the cup at some point. Leaf Nation will continue to be angsty.. but, we really are in good shape..
Like your listing with the Marlies depth, and how Dubas values those guys and the development process. Couldn't agree more. I'd only add that Mason Marchment should maybe get a nod there too. He has some tools that the leafs lack. I could see him getting a look next year if he can stay healthy and continue to build on his last 2 seasons.
All in all, awesome stuff! And very timely, too.
