Despite the holdout, the Toronto Maple Leafs have locked up one of the NHL’s best young starts to a longterm contract for the majority of his prime.
But the team has lost four out of five and some fans are actually lamenting the trade of Josh Leivo to Vancouver.
Obviously, there is a lot to unpack here, so strap yourself in.
Toronto Maple Leafs, Losing, Leivo
The first thing to address is whether or not Nylander is responsible for this losing streak. That’s an easy one: not even close. The idea is laughable. The Leafs might be 1-4 since he came back, but even without looking into his play this is just silly.
