The Core Four Problem & Maple Leafs Free Agency Outlook

Give the core 5 all 88 million dollars then hire volunteers from Toronto beer leagues to play as interns. 😂

At this point they are running it into the ground not running it back

53% for 4 guys tell you a lot about this team

Perry. Get Perry then scratch him in the finals. I’m a Bruins fan 😈

Leafs are on the decline. Their day was 2 years ago now. The core is dysfunctional and Tavares is too old. They will not do what needs to be done either.

Shanahan is the problem at this point

Offence gets all the glory, but Defence wins the game. 🏆

IMO domi is a need to come back Bertuzzi is a bit of a less need but still would be nice

The leafs always have the same problem. Need defense and need a goaltender. You would think they would figure it out by now

The Leaf players put themselves above the team. No team is going to win with this culture

Matt Roy should be the RD that the Leafs target.

Right now, Leafs fortunes run through Florida and Boston. You either have to get through their defenses or be able to have one better than theirs. Both are much easier said than done but the former is more plausible right now.

Tanev. Roy, Montour, Pesce, Carrier, Hakkanpaa...Any one of those guys would be perfect, especially Roy. To get more than one would be even better. The Leafs have a change to improve their blueline quite a bit this year for nothing but cap space. I'd have no issues offering Roy Brodie's deal or even paying a little more. Tanev is awesome, but his age and injuries make that harder to do. Montour will want the moon and likely won't leave Florida. This team needs dmen that can move the puck to the forwards. Year after year they fail to score when it counts.

many compliments to u steve love the leafs coverage, keep em coming and we will all keep watching

Sad News Sergei Berezin passed away at only 52 years old. RIP.

At least get a player that will put Marchand through the glass.

Excellent rundown of the possibilities! Should be a fun Summer.

Treliving to Woll: "We want you to be our long-term starter" (guaranteed money? Woll signs immediately). Treliving to Jones: "We want you to be our 3rd string goalie. And just to entice you more, we just signed Woll again, so you're basically going to be our backup for half the year whileWoll is on IR again. Does that sound fair?" (Jones signs immediately)

Great job Steve, should do an episode on if they rolled it back, to demonstrate your point

I hope they sign Ilya Lyubushkin it would be great to keep him ❤
