Maple Leafs: Time for the New John Ferguson Jr. to Earn His Paycheque
The Toronto Maple Leafs have the bones of a good team, and they can impressively win games they don’t deserve to win. That just isn’t a recipe for long-term success.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have four elite scoring forwards, a ton of good help upfront, and a couple of good goalies. That means they can win a lot of games when they don’t play a full 60 minutes.
Since they are the least-deep and most top-heavy they have EVER BEEN, this will keep them alive in the playoff race until their GM, the new John Ferguson Jr., gets his act together and does something to positively impact the team.
So far, the Leafs have gone to overtime in 10 of 21 games. They have seven wins in OT/Shootout.
