<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>The core 4 has generally been fine at worst too. The issue has pretty much never been them or their production save the Columbus series.
This season is basically everything but them is turning to crap because the new guy didnt address any of the actual issues and their goaltending is a mess because of injuries and one guy turning into a pumpkin for a quarter of the year.
This is why you dont make 'snot' your primary goal to improve a team</div></div>

The leaf's need to sit back this year and look towards the 2025 season when they will have some cap flexibility. There is no way they can fix all their holes at the deadline.

Step 1 avoid the urge to spend at the deadline (2024)
Step 2 Fix the D and goaltending and look for quality bottom 6 this summer as they will be tight against the cap Let the kids play in 2024
Step 3 No longer cap strap they can add the needed pieces to the forward group and a real contending window opens.

This is what I think they should do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>So if the core doesnt work then you make trades and signings to better the team.
This does not do that. The leafs need good players not just 'big' players, if your main justification for a trade is that the guy is big, then you lost and your team is worse for it.
As far as lindholm goes, if this core doesnt work then how does an older player, who cannot drive their own line make any sense if you get him for his worth let alone massivly over paying a guy past prime? If some othet team wants to jump on that grenade you let them</div></div>

I would not say the Core 4 doesn't work. Due to the pandemic the Leaf's were cap heavy more than any other team as they just signed their core when it hit.

If they stay the course like they are doing and look to fix the D this summer they will be a heavy favorite in 2025
