Our team did not succeed in winning their qualifying round. They were limited in scoring. Big guns didn't come through. Tavares had many chances but couldn't put them in. Matthews was a beast but in the end the team as a whole failed.
Freddie let in the weak 2nd goal in elimination game. Marner did not score in the series. No secondary scoring in the series. Our D and PK actually were not that bad. Imagine them with an upgrade to Barrie, and Ceci into the top 4? Kapanen and Johnsson are proven to be expendable to trade (even letting kids play - we have Robertson and Barbanov as well as Engvall and Korshkov.). Free up $6.6, less (2 x .925k) 1.85 = $4.85m in cap space.. plus maybe one of Marner/Nylander dealt. We need to replace our 1a goalie. But wait.. Notice something.. CBJ save % is beyond believable. Even better vs Tampa who finished first in offense (Leafs finished 3rd) in the season.. Maybe our match up also played a factor and against most other teams, the Leafs would have been more successful? Questions we will never find out.. and some we are about to this off-season
