Quoting: Jesus
I don't think he should be fired but I think he needs to reassess the way he built the team. Its a good idea in theory to have an all skill team but you still need to be a tough team to play against and if the Leafs aren't scoring they aren't winning and in the playoffs you need to be a team that wears other teams down. Not saying they have to be the Bruins but they have to have role players who win puck battles and throw hits and the only guys like that on the team IMO are Muzzin, Hyman, Clifford, and occasionally Kapanen everyone else is all offense. The fact they're trying to extend Clifford of all people proves my point
People yell at him but honestly he really tried to make the team better
1. Kadri had to go. He got himself suspended twice and cost the leafs against boston. If it wasnt colorado it was calgary
2. When he waived Mchileny he was betting sparks could be the future starter but sadly it failed. Its okay cause we got campbell now
3. He got rid of that horrible zaitsev contract for 1 year of ceci which despite the fact he drives fans insane is okay
4. Sure he overpaid some players but those players could grow into their contracts and be bargins in a few years
5. In general most of his bad trades were him fixing Lous messes
Overall he is a fine GM and will only continue to grow and improve. Lets see what he does as he now understands the blue line needs help.
