Can someone explain a plan for how we get better next year without altering this core?

Well for starters, the team got better this year and the core still seems to be there

Luke Fox had a pretty brutal article on sportsnet about the end of yr pressers...He's none to impressed with what was said or intimated..

Never knew him to be that critical.

One of those “other sites”, (no not the Hub) was musing about dealing with the cap. They talked about a few ideas.

Mrazek - buy out saves $2.8 this year and $3 next year but leaves a $1.4 hit during years when the big boys need to be re-signed. Wondered whether retaining $1M might be a compromise to reduce cost of moving him.

Holl - ‘nuff said

Kerfoot - $750K left in his salary after July 1. Has a 10 team NTC

Muzzin - injuries obviously an issue but only $2M owing this year and $4 next year.

I mean noone says too much because its picked apart like crazy and they have to explain things for a week after. Why would people give real quotes?
Or you know, why would they tell the media any insight that might make doing their actual job harder? Because the media isn't what sports is about...

Oh for sure.. don’t want to show all, or any of your cards. Def think other teams hoping Leafs make a panic move.

I was embarrassed last year. I’m not sure how you can equate their play in those two series. Both losses hurt but for me, the criteria for assessing the team goes a bit deeper than lost in the first round.

Would you consider OEL for Nylander?

You could clean up the Mrazek and Muzzin mistakes by flipping them for Vlasic.

The same Luke Fox who included a Twitter poll asking who was at fault and who should be blamed for another long golf season, just to have 67% of the 27 thousand respondents answer that they should go again with the same group with minor fringe changes?

Yeah, he has a hard time connecting with Leaf fans.

The Leafs lost 3 of the last 4 games against Tampa, and didn’t even show up for game 4. They blew a lead in game 6 in the third again, and couldn’t really get close to the net in game seven, with most shots from the outside. When it counts, and other teams step up, Leaf’s have no fight.
