Back in December I wrote a piece about how the Rangers need to model their rebuild after the Toronto Maple Leafs. If you read the piece, the stars have aligned beautifully over the past seven months.
Now here in July, I am going to re-visit the article I wrote in December and take a deeper dive into the comparisons that I made. Before I discuss these comparisons let me be clear about the most important thing – I am fully aware of the cap hell that Toronto is in, and I am writing this piece based solely on the players skill sets and comparisons.
