Reading between the lines of Friday’s vague presser: the Leafs brass are ready to make major roster renovations.
The recently minted CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment addressed media Friday at Ford Performance Centre alongside Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan and GM Brad Treliving , and the first thing Pelley did was remark that he was last there when his son was playing for the Humber Valley Sharks “about 20 years ago.”
“Good is simply not good enough,” Pelley said during his preliminary statement. It set the tone for the presser, which might’ve seemed like a vague retread of previous year-enders on the surface but ultimately was not. For the rest of the presser, if you read between the lines, the Toronto brass left plenty of crumbs to imply significant on-ice change was coming, none more than Shanahan, who claimed “everything is on the table.”
The Core is no longer safe. The goaltending situation in all likelihood will change. While the Leafs offered no hints as to what type of coach they’re intending to pursue, Treliving did make it clear what needs to change in the team’s playing style, which yielded the second-most goals in the NHL during the regular season but cratered for 1.71 goals per game and a 4.8% power-play conversion rate in the playoffs.
